Matrix number A-side: 6360015 A//2 1 1 7 Matrix number B-side: 6360015 B//2 1 1 4 Rarity scale: R2 Maybe it's all Deep Purple's fugitive Simper's fault, that this sounds uncomfortably akin to that particular band. A lot of organ and mannered and gruffy vocals are the main ingredients. Some bolero-like rhythms are enjoyable enough, but the main objection - as often with this kind of venture - remains the meagre compositions. Bands who cannot write songs should take refuge in cover versions, but the Easybeats' St. Louis isn't much help unfortunately. Very dated now. Old-fashioned. soldiers rest in a bleak landscape of dirt, crates and barbed wire coils. A horse waits in the dust beside his tired rider. Brown in brown and very gloomy. The lettering is the kind that is sprayed through a stencil to mark military goods. Very apt! The inside shows five photographs of the faces of the band in neat and completely unfitting frames. The lettering here is like a menu in a bourgeois restaurant. What a blunder! Notes: there are two label variations known: one shown above and the other with ''Made in England'' at 1 o'clock and a slightly altered lay-out.
