+ printed inner sleeve. 1991 CD reissue on Relativity.
Great cover by underground cartoonist S. Clay Wilson, but that’s about all that’s good about their second LP. No real hits à la “Fuckin for Bucks”, and the production could be a LOT better… (where’s the guitar?). The biggest problem is the poor sound - check out the two remixed songs on the “Incredible Power of Darkness” for a glimpse of how good this could have been.

Geniales Cover des Undergroundzeichners S. Clay Wilson, das war’s aber auch schon, was am Nachfolger von ’Martha’ wirklich gut ist. Es fehlen die Hits wie ’Fuckin’ for Bucks’, der furztrockene Sound, bei dem man irgendwie die Gitarre vergessen haben muss, tut das übrige (2 ausgekoppelte Songs auf dem ’Incredible Power…’ Sampler zeigen, daß die Stücke mit richtig gemixter Gitarre genial sind).
