My dad was a huge fan and had them all on tape and I went to so many used record stores looking for the vinyl so i could rip them to CD for him. He passed away almost two years ago now, but I always think of him when I hear this band, thanks again<br /><br />JamesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-79521858882856982612010-04-18T21:33:35.847-05:002010-04-18T21:33:35.847-05:00Stickboy

I bought it after seeing their "Too Bad" video on a Toronto TV show called the "All Night Show" hosted by Chuck the Security Guard. It featured Twilight Zone and Outer Limits episodes with music vids thrown in between. Great stuff. This was before cable. Regarding the album: I don't remember it being as good as the hit, but I'm looking forward to hearing it again.
