4.0 out of 5 stars "Shut It Tight" is worth the price of admission, September 23, 2007

Over the years I've bought many albums based on one or two tracks. This is a case in point and "Shut It Tight" is that track.

Good writing always employs contrasting images, and this cut deliberately exaggerates these contrasts, with such lyrical constructs as "I don't care what you say / and I hope that you approve / I am just an ordinary man." The accompanying music provides the edginess to go with the lyrics, and the backing musicians are an all-star cast: Mick Ronson, Ry Cooder, Pete Townshend, and many more.

The other songs are good, but I think you have to be a big Burnett fan to really appreciate them. Early-gen Tom Waits fans will also appreciate this album.

I really should have paid more attention! i was waiting for a CD; Iwas surprised to get a record! My own fault, I didn't pay close enough attention to the description. It does look like it is in mint condition though. Now I just have to get something to play it on!
