Sometimes I don't get the genre division at all. Take for exemple Move's "Looking On" album, most of it stone hard built on a rock foundation but I never see that tagged "hard rock". Same thing with this - filled with offensivly raw rock'n'roll crowned by catchy sing-a-longish refrains, both hard and rocking still seldom labeled accordingly. Maybe not considered cool enough, cause there's no dark strokes here. Instead, though the setting is offensive, you get 100% positive with a kind of happy feeling. Nothing mysterious, just right on. I've always loved it. Tophole vocals to hard working backing with tons of crude guitars, seemingly recorded more or less live in the studio. But there's also melodies that stick and make me wanna return and rekindle. Tracks like "Mama Weer All Crazee now", "Gudbuy T'Jane" and "Gudbuy Gudbuy" have so much positive energy they're downright uplifting and more than once got me dancing alone in front of the stereo. Especially "Gudbuy Gudbuy" - it don't get much harder than that, yet with a very catchy melody, together making it a fetching remainer in my mind. So however you tag it, in my world this is one of the good guys, strong enough to stand on its own and stay fresh regardless of any flavour-of-the-month shiftings. Issued on vinyl pretty much all over the world 1972/73, also on cassette. UK 2006 CD (SALVOCD 002) came with five bonus tracks. Premiere UK on Polydor (2383-163). I guess this US is early, having A-1C/B-1C matrixes with Δ17599 showing on a Monarch press. It came with label as shown here and glossy cover. (YZÄ*)
