Are those the twin towers of the World Trade Center I see off in the distance on this cover shot? I guess this one is pretty rare since I can't even find mention of it on google. I found my copy at a discogs vendor who specializes in punk rock and when I received it the vinyl looked like some punk rockers had played frisbee with it. After a good cleaning, a re-rip and a pass through Izotope RX3, I think it sounds awesome!
This is a nice record -- Groove is well, Groove and Schnitter and Giordano give fine performances on tenor and guitar in support. and as it says in the liner notes: "The players are fine. The music is fine. The recording is excellent. These are the facts."
