I bought this album early in 1982, when I was going to grad school at Caltech in Pasadena. The reverberations are still felt 25 years later!

This album more than any other got me hooked on ska. I saw them 3 times back in the day. The most memorable was when they opened for The Clash at the Hollywood Palladium.

The track list is

Mirror in the Bathroom
Hands off...She's Mine
Two Swords
Twist & Crawl
Tears of a Clown
Rough Rider

I suggest that you turn it way the hell up and dance!

Orange Cove skate park rules!

It is a great park. I wish I had some really ripping footage of it, but I just don't rip that hard. Lots of fun in the hot hot sun on Sunday 8/19/2007.
