Notes:  A French import from what I believe is a Canadian band, numbered 1:50,000. Great 80's new wave with the pair of Martha's driving the vocals, clever lyrics (Cheesies and Gum excepted) and a screaming sax. You cna dance if you want to, but with this LP it's not necessary as it is on some of their later output. The cover art gives us a birds eye view of the Toronto Harbour and the surrounding area. Lyrics and band photos adorn the inner sleeve.

Line Up:

Carl Finkle: bass
Mark Gane: guitar, synthi A
Tim Gane: drums
Andy Haas: sax
Martha Johnson: vocals, keyboards
