Nothing more needs to be said here except for this being some truly great 80's era Aussie Garage Rock. Extremely well produced Garage Rock! Everything is full, clear, and punchy. Best played loud!referencing Mars Needs Guitars! (LP, Album) CHR 1520
Is the back cover of this release the same as your reissue?

My roommate in college introduced me to The Gurus in '87 and I was struck by their laid back garage rock sound. Incorporating jangly campfire chord guitars and mixing elements of alt rock, power pop, surf, and psychedelic, the songs stand up well enough on this album, but the real highlight is the quality of the recording, which is super clean and powerful. The drums are punchy and the mixing is pleasant. There are no songs here to write home about, but overall a nice listen. - This is just a good ‘ol rock ‘n roll record. And this reissue sounds fine. Good dynamics and tight low end driving the music. Big drum sound. I would think the original might have a bit better definition and more warmth than this reissue but this is a nice, clean solid pressing that sounds good. I’m surprised this is actually one album I didn’t already have on vinyl. Originals aren’t too hard to come by online but I saw this at the record store and just decided to grab it. Happy to have it on collectible green vinyl too. This can be played loud. A nice release for fans of this Aussie band.
