I found this album at Rockaway Records on Glendale Blvd, and there are two reasons why I bought this vinyl. One, I love the song "Let's Go!" Pre-glam drums (Hal Blaine?) mixed with a chorus yelling out "Let's Go," is a cocktail for the perfect aural listening experience. The number 2, is the most important reason why I have this album in my collection. Scott Engels plays bass on it. In other words, Scott Walker. From teenage singer to The Routers to Sunn)))0 - how can it be so perfect.
Beyond these two and important facts above, this is a great instrumental surf/beat album. Handclaps, beat drums, honking sax (roots of Andy MacKay/Roxy Music), and the knowledge of the bizarre twist of Scott Walker's entire career. Also I played two sides of this album, and the record was finished before I could finish these two paragraphs. Short, makes it point, and it's gone is a haze of hot rod exhaust.
