Anybody have this album or wanna talk about it? I know the general google dirt: apparently their only album, this article talks more about the history of the band and its oddball album title, this Ken Anger film with accompanying A Raincoat bonus track... but what I want to know is if the rest of the album is as good as the one track I've glommed: People I Know. Because that song is awesome.

Anyone?

God all that looks really interesting. I'd like to hear it.

YES!! I like this obscure-to-the-Nth-degree LP. They always reminded me a bit of Stackridge, or 10CC with a far smaller studio budget. It doesn't all stick in my head, but the track I really liked was "Who's A Mashed Potato Now," reminiscent of Sparks' olde-tymey tunes like "Looks Looks Looks."

Fascinating. I wonder whether he ever tried to sue the Raincoats?

"A small budget 10cc" sounds about right. I really need to get this album. I also found a sseek copy of "It Came In the Night" floating about; it's quite nice.
