Here's another tribute to my parents. Thanks for having this album around when I was a kid. Before I understood lyrics and figured out Chrissie Hynde likes fucking and singing about it, I was spinning this record and wishing I was as cool as Pete Fardon (guy on left with Triumph jacket). There are some really great songs on this album and James Honeyman-Scott's guitar work was very influential. It's sort of a mystery to me why I liked this record. No big-ass drum kits, no 12 minute songs. I wouldn't have dreamed to attach myself to this record in my teens. I think it's safe to say that if it wasn't a great album, I wouldn't still think about it today.
