CD versions include Topsy Turvy LP. Feat. Scott McCaughey who later played the Fastbacks.

Debut LP by the band from Seattle; their trademark blend of melodic punk and 60's/garage rock/pop is a bit more on the 60's side here (some songs have an organ, too). Witty and sympathetic (and a little goofy sometimes), but not as convincing and tight as some of their later releases. [6]

Erste LP der Seattle-Band; in ihrer typische Mischung aus melodischem Punk und 60's-Garagenrock/pop hat letzterer hier noch etwas Übergewicht, bei manchen Songs orgelt noch ein Keyboard mit. Ganz nett und witzig, allerdings nicht so überzeugend wie einige ihrer späteren Releases.
