Album Notes & Community Reviews

A sprawling double album recorded quickly to capture an abrasive, live feel, it served as a major early release for the fledgling Virgin label. Coyne's unconventional, blues-drenched vocal delivery and darkly humorous character studies offered a stark, idiosyncratic alternative to the polished singer-songwriters of the era.
