About my favorite GL album also. Excellent recording and great songs. I talked to Rick about it years ago and he told me they were all pretty disappointed in the sales of it. They thought it was a great LP and expected it to go over big. I had gone to a discount store about 2 years after it was released, and saw a bunch of the albums in a LP discount bin for $1 each. I bought 4 copys and gave them to my friends and kept a spare one for myself. Yes, maybe it was the times, lack of promo or who knows what, but it died a fast death. I have my original framed, it was autographed by Gordon and the band all over his face. Gordon signed on his white collar. It also has Pee Wees autograph. It was done in 1985.
