recorded March 1987 in Amsterdam, produced by Dolf. Steve Brockway had gone by now and in came Mark Grebby on bass, from Splat!


In my opinion the finest record on Ron Johnson. Just really vibrant, exciting, just when you think it's all getting a bit too much they pull "Edith" out of the bag, which is one of the most beautiful songs fullstop.

My copy is scratched to fuck. Maybe one day it'll be rereleased, hoho.
