Album Notes & Community Reviews

A phenomenal double-sided achievement that perfectly encapsulates the raw, aggressive edge of the British R&B explosion. The A-side features a blistering, hyper-speed blues cover, while the B-side, driven by a simplistic but incredibly aggressive three-chord progression, became the ultimate blueprint for thousands of aspiring garage bands.
