Notes: This
amazing collection of stray notes and strained vocals is fronted
by by tenor saxophonist/bandleader Ernie 'King' Uszniewicz. My
God people, you'd think a band with this many players would be
able to carry a tune for a short stretch, but no. With the exception
of "Little Dead Surfer Girl" this is in contention for
the worst record ever made. According to Cub Koda (Brownsville
Station, etc...) the band was found playing in
a bowling alley in a nasty section of Detroit. Maybe they should
have stayed there, but Norton though it would bring the King's
talent to the listening public at large. And this is not his only
release! The cover chronicles the release of the U-Tones early
singles, band history and a letter from the proprietors of the
bowling alley assessing a $133.00 bill against the band (to be
paid in $15 increments weekly) for damage to a cigarette machine.
If you ever pass the Orbit Room, stop for a moment of silence...
