Album Notes & Community Reviews

A fast-paced, fuzz-drenched critique of the neurotic British upper class, featuring Bill Wyman's famous 'dive-bombing' bassline during the fade-out. The B-side, utilizing a mournful string quartet, provides a stark contrast and demonstrates the band's growing structural sophistication.
