Where bought? Almost certainly this was picked up when there was a week-long pop-up in 2012 when Alans in Wigan moved premise. They had ceased selling records (Alans is a BMX and skate shop) years before but had tons of overstock that they put out for cheap and had a few nights of bands, which I was fortunate enough to play at.
Bought this for £3 and threw it on. Didn't like it and it has followed me around for years, barely touched and listened to.
In 2021: I like it now! Over 45 minutes and two sides it congeals into one very similar-sounding song, but whenever I get the tweezers out and choose almost any cut for individual listening it stands up.
Not quite sure I didn't take to it back when it was brought home: it is a meaty-sounding power trio playing hooky rock songs with melodic vocals and plenty of enthusiasm. It's what I wanted Therapy? and Sugar to sound like, and I think you're into Metz or Vaz you might likes this.
There's no real memory to attach to it, and I'm only just becoming familiar with it myself, so not much more to say. Have a listen to my favourite track from it in lieu of insight:
It seems like the vinyl can fetch a profit, so I might take stock of where I am at the end of this vis-a-vis keeping it. Right now I'm happy to carry it around a few more years.
