This recording is well distributed and easy to find, but damn this band is worth your attention. You think you know....and listening to this version of "Touch Me I'm Sick" that's 30 years old now (but was already a "classic" then) is like getting your ass handed to you on a platter. An interview with Arm popped onto my social media feed today and he was asked what single recording would embody "punk" to the social anthropologists one hundred years from now and he said he didn't give a shit. I love that. I saw them just once - Tulsa in 1992 with SUPERSUCKERS and EUGENIUS.....it was incredible.
