Har har, Roland's back and kicking ass. More Bulldozerish noise from the boys, but with a lot more rage. My personal feeling is that this is much better than Bulldozer, the songs are meatier, the sound is nastier and Steve's snarl is in fine form. Shotgun, Sleep and Racer X are the stand-outs.
Il Duce was also recorded with these tracks, but didn't see release until 1985.
The Homestead version features a cover by Nate Kaatrud, and according to Steve, the reason the Touch and Go re-issue has a different cover is because the Homestead art was lost. It's more likely that Steve's falling out with Nate (better known as National Kato of Urge Overkill) had something to do it.
THIS IS A LEGENDARY RECORDING.Shiping to UK: £4, Europe: £7.50, Rest of World £12.50
