Editor's note: a few years back when I cleaned out my record collection this was one of the casualties and for some reason -- as average as this record was/is -- I had to find it again. When I finally found it I let out a chuckle and proceeded on with my dollar store findings. A b-side black version of early XTC after they let go of the steam pianist Barry Andrews and brought in Dave Gregory. Let me reiterate B-SIDE and leaning towards C-SIDE! "Did You See Me?" and "KKK" are the stand-outs for completely different reasons. "KKK" is an anti-racist anthem which adds a little controversy to a pretty vanilla album. "Did You See Me?" is basically a new wave track and stands out like a sore flange. The rest of the album is a potpourri of just about all styles of pop/rock.
