For some reason I remember this getting mostly poor to lukewarm reviews when it first came out. In retrospect, it's not bad at all and definitely worth having if you're a fan. A good mix of originals and covers, and yes it is short - only seven songs.

Song List

1. I Play The Drums
2. Wastin' Time Talking
3. Tallahassee Lassie
4. True Love
5. Jumpin' In The Night
6. The Cool And The Crazy
7. Judas Kiss


Album Notes
Recorded on October 31, 1988 at Dr. Rockits in Ontario.

Although Judas Kiss is my hands down favorite Del-Lords song, I love to crank I Play The Drums and Tallahassee Lassie from this smokin' live set.

It's pretty funny to see an EP-length CD that I bought used in the early '90's for about two and a half bucks selling for 49 bones on Amazon.

Smokin' live set, especially Ambel's raunchy slide guitar. I didn't find Kempner's guitar significantly "underrecorded" as stated in the Amazon description. In fact, they seem fairly well-balanced -- Kempner in the left channel and Ambel in the right. My only complaint is the CD should have been longer, although I know it was marketed as an EP. Two covers (if you don't count parts of "Psychotic Reaction," "Pictures of Matchstick Men," and "Wipeout" interspersed throughout the CD) and an excellent "Judas Kiss."
