    Not a single bad track. Fond memories

    As a young kid X was introduced to me through ‘Channel X’ A faux radio station present on GTA V (2013) The track ‘Los Angeles’ is on heavy rotation on said station. My ear started picking it up, I had Discovered X and La. The whole Lp is excellent the quality is to be expected of a 70s record and is the epitome of LA 70s punk. Lyrics are poignant and strong in places in all the right ways.

      Does anyone know the story behind the semicolon which replaced the comma in the track 𝑇𝘩𝑒 𝑊𝘰𝑟𝘭𝑑'𝑠 𝑎 𝑀𝘦𝑠𝘴, 𝐼𝘵'𝘴 𝘐𝑛 𝑀𝘺 𝘒𝑖𝘴𝑠? So becoming 𝑇𝘩𝑒 𝑊𝘰𝑟𝘭𝑑'𝑠 𝑎 𝑀𝘦𝑠𝘴; 𝐼𝘵'𝘴 𝘐𝑛 𝑀𝘺 𝘒𝑖𝘴𝑠 - to me a brilliant edit, deepening the meanings bound to the the clip, the LP's final track

        Great LA Punk Classic...From start to finish, I dare you to find a bad track. Just as the style of punk was starting to change to fast for fast sake, this was like a marker for the end of the 70's era of punk.

          Classic album from a classic band. Billy Zoom's guitar is right in front. I prefer the CD although i have the LP.

            Gosh - listening to this album brings me back. Love this album. Very solid. Not as good as Under the Big Black Sun. But still great.

              So this has a fold-over jacket?!... and what does "with artwork printed directly on the cover" mean?... (where is the artwork printed otherwise?); please clear me up!

                I think I have an Orange and white front cover instead of a Black and white Cover. What can you tell me about that Variation? US album on Slash Records
