A rather deluxe reissue of this classic (as considered now) 2nd LP by Edinburgh/London combo Country Teasers, featuring tons of info on just how this LP came to be, plus the rather fucked-up story of a wee label flailing against the corrupt/inept accounting by Atlantic Records.
*** Gatefold sleeve plus printed inner sleeve. And, most importantly: a READABLE sized BANDNAME upon a sticker attached to the shrink-wrap! Perhaps best is to quote directly from the original 1996 one-sheet (including original fonts!): Yes, my friends; A new 14-cut album from London's finest, no doubt to cost Crypt more "garage/punk cred" within the ranks of those "hip".
Well, believe me, I just spent 24 hours going thru a stack of over 200 demos from half-assed newly "hep" "garage" and "punk" bands and the Teasers cut a bold swath through alla these nouveau Caesars or D Dogs attempters, never mind alla these pissant surf/lo-fi/"trash" punkers with absolutely no fucking SUBSTANCE or originality.
I will admit that the Teasers AIN'T yer "typical" Crypt "sound"; Hell, they almost fit in and could even appeal to "garage" hating "indie rock" types.
