I actually owned and enjoyed 2 SBM vinyl albums back in the 80’s this one and the one with the Aeroplanes on the cover

How I came to actually own these records I have no clue but what I do recall is thinking how much they reminded me of The Gun Club, and in particular the bluesy tracks ( I was a huge Gun Club fan at the time)

Listening back in 2021 this album probably isn’t as good as I recall but it certainly takes me back to a time and place
