- Long lost sydney power pop band circa '79-80 whose two main players came together at the urging of legendary LA svengali/producer (Runaways, Hollywood Stars, Candy etc) and songwriter (Kiss, Van Halen etc) Kim Fowley after he 'discovered' them both during his Australian sojourn of Xmas '78/79.  Those two main players were - Jarryl Wirth, guitarist of now iconic and oft-bootlegged early Melbourne punks Babeez/News (Jarryl recorded solo tracks for Fowley under the name the Lonely Boys) and Jimmy Manzie, songwriter/bassplayer for hugely popular Sydney band Ol' 55 (Aus's answer to Sha Na Na/Flash Cadillac) who previously had a #1 album and multiple Top 10 hits (and who can still sell out theatres). Manzie is also known amongst power pop fans as the producer of the classic single 'Sooner or Later' by Fowley's other Aussie power pop proteges, the Innocents, and is known to Ausrock fans as the producer of the Choirboys.
- Band only ever released one single in its time; the album is full of high quality and never-before-heard glammy new wave hard power pop taking its cues from the Innocents, Cars and Cheap Trick.
- Includes the original demo of the Manzie/Fowley tune "Lipstick & Leather" which was later demoed by KISS circa 'Creatures of the Night'.
- Pink vinyl and 4 page insert with loads of pix and extensive liner notes by Dave Laing (Ugly Things).
- Essential for international fans of '70s/80s power pop and new wave, '70s Aussie punk (thanks to the Babeez/News connection), classic Australian rock and Kiss completists!
