Comments and Reviews


Bubba Ramone 12th Jan 2024		Track B2 ("I'm an Actress") by Jane Aire and the Belvederes also has Rachel Sweet on backing vocals.



Bodston SUBS 14th Apr 2021		I found a partial sheet of stickers for the shrinkwrap. "If it doesn't smell, It'll never sell".



Jock_Girl 11th Jul 2020		Actually the first bit on the A side, entitled Intro, is the sound of a radio being tuned with abit of a DJ and a snippet of Hotel California by the Eagles played backwards



janiejjones 3rd Mar 2015		Unlisted track B8 is listed elsewhere as "Clones" by "The Waitresses" .....and the smell ist still there, no need for rubbing....



janiejjones 23rd Dec 2013		Still smelling after all these years....burnt rubber in the morning.... Deadwax (etched) A: SIDE ' A ' TIRE SIDE - YELLOW LABEL S-5 GET 3 A₂ E.G. B: SIDE ' B ' - PLATESIDE - BLACK AND WHITE LABEL S-9 GET 3 B₂
