Artist:  Various Artists

Title:  Las Vegas Grind - Volume Four

Date:  1992

Label:  Strip Records   CR-ST LP-004

Front and Back Cover Art:  Daniel Clowes

Notes:  Consisting of material from the garages and wiggler bars from across America, this record swings, howls and growls. Not content to rehash worn cover tunes and oldies groups the producers of this LP have brought us new blood. There are a few familiar faces here (Andre Williams, The Jaguars), but most of the bands are foreign to these well traveled ears. Fun stuff it is, too. Next time you're out in the garage wrenchin' that old beast back into road worthiness drop the needle down on this one. Or if your party is getting loose and relaxed, flip the switch on this baby and you'll be seeing a renewed sense of vigor and dancing like you couldn't imagine. And the cover art is from the mighty pen of none other than Daniel Clowes, he of Ghost World fame and, I hope, well deserved fortune. Look for his Eightball comics wherever can find fine independent comics in your town. Bartender, another round and some singles please.
