Review: | A relatively unknown album, this is a favorite of mine (and some of my friends). |
| Some of the best tracks are 'Grow Some Funk of Your Own', 'Street Kids', and |
| 'Billy Bones and the White Bird'. |
| |
| The only 'miss' in my mind is 'Feed Me'. |
| |
| BTW, every copy of this album / tape / CD I've heard is a bit 'off', almost like an |
| amateur tape. I can only assume the master tapes have a slight flaw, almost as if |
| the EQ wasn't set properly. |
