Notes:  Maybe this record is a little more controlled than some others the band put out, but it rocks, swings and whispers. All of it good. Including a song for the Big Star himself Alex Chilton. Two other standouts are "Nightclub Jitters" and "Skyway". A thoroughly pleasing record from start to finish. Both are soft, almost gentle in nature. Both front and back covers consist of nice graphics and design.
