"THIS IS THE ORIGINALLY UNRELEASED LP FROM CHEAP,T.V.'S BAND FALLING BETWEEN THE EXPLORERS AND HIS NOW SOLO CAREER.TO LISTEN TO IT BRINGS A SHIVER TO MY SPINE AND A TAP TO MY TOE,TRANSPORTING ME BACK TO THE MANY VENUES,LARGE AND SMALL ,FULL AND MOSTLY EMPTY AROUND WHICH I FOLLOWED THIS BAND ABOUT THE U.K. IN THE SHORT TIME THEY WERE TOGETHER.PERFECT POP PUNK AND A TRUE RENDITION OF THE LORDS PRAYER,(ORIGINALLY WRITTEN FOR AND THEN RUINED BY LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH(STIV BATORS R.I.P.)) I CAME,I SAW,I DANCED GENERALLY BY MYSELF BUT THEY WERE SUPERB THEN AND THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE SOME IDEA OF MY FEELINGS NOW IS TO BUY THIS CD.PUNK ROCK WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE LIKE THIS,IDEAS AND IDEOLOGY REGARDLESS OF THE MEDIUM. LISTEN TO THE LYRICS AND IF IT STIRS YOU TO,THEN DANCE, I DID."
