French version has a different sleeve. CD cover has slightly different lettering.
While their early 7”s were at least slightly influenced by punk, all rougher elements have gone on their first LP; it's pure 60s California guitar pop now. This might be too mellow for punk purists, but for some it might be a welcome change to the harder faster stronger sounds. [7]
Waren auf der ’She don’t know…’-7” noch ein paar herbere Töne zu hören, so sind hier the Last endgültig dem 60s-California-Gitarren-Pop verfallen, der sie ja letztendlich auch berühmt gemacht hat. Mag manchen Leuten vielleicht zu mellow sein, aber wer sich auch mal eine Beach-Boys-Platte genehmigt, sollte zuschlagen.
