 The tracks 'Eternally' and 'The One For Me' were also both recorded by The Charmaines.

You can hear the whole album here.

Behold, quite possibly one of the rarest Canadian pop rock records known to exist. For those who don't have the album and never had a chance to listen to it, this album is very different from their other tracks like August 32nd, Do It To 'Em and Jack Rabbit. If you've heard those tracks before, I hate to tell you but this album is way too soft to be on par like those ones.
Anyway, the album itself is decent for a pop rock record. It has some surprising hints of northern soul (the songs Eternally and Put You Down come to mind) and has a nice Beach Boys' cover of Little Honda. However, being able to find a copy is extremely scarce and can fetch a pretty penny. Nothing in absurd amounts of money compared to say an original pressing of The Haunted's debut album. Unfortunately, I'm unaware of any reissues of The Big Town Boys' only album known to exist, which makes it even more difficult. If you're on the lookout for this album, I wish you luck... If you happen to have it or somehow managed to get this for a decent price consider yourself lucky. (I obtained my copy awhile back for $40 in a pretty well worn condition. Luckily it still plays from start to finish without any hassle.)
Overall, if you're into Candian pop rock music (or just pop in general) consider giving it a listen sometime. Also a nice addition to your Capitol 6000 Series collection, especially since this is one of the rarest ones out there.
