Well, it's been quite a while. This is actually my first post of 2013 which makes me feel both incredibly lazy and that this year is rolling by a little too fast already. It's been a good year for records so far. This one was acquired not too long ago after I was hipped to it by one of the record slingers at Rockaway Records in Los Angeles. I haven't been able to find any info on it and the guys at Rockaway had nothing on it either. Based off the hub info, it was released in 1986 and came out of the UK. The copy from Rockaway had a stamped dust sleeve but unfortunately my copy is missing it. Musically, it's not really breaking any new ground, just early 80's sounding melodic Punk. I would have guessed they hailed from Southern California based on just listening to it. I would not have guessed it was released in 1986 or that it came from the UK. That's more or less part of the appeal of this record for me. It seems like the late 80's pool of records that sound like early 80's or late 70's releases have not been picked to death which means you can still find under-the-radar gems such as this one. Of the 3 songs, "I'm So Beautiful'" is the stand out track to me. Just a good short straight forward melodic punk tune. "White Flag" is decent and "Last Man On Earth" is probably my least favorite. It's not terrible; it's just not my cup of tea. With any luck, someone will chime in on this one and give me the details. Now grab a chair and enjoy the next six minutes and five seconds of this platter.
