"U Flip 4 Evry 1"
This download includes the Sanity LP and the Troubled Sleep 7"
You will see this record on eBay every now and then and it's usually labeled "ska". Let it be known that there is not one single ska song on this album.
It's a friggen great album but there ain't no ska on it.
Keep in mind that the 7" is ultra-rare. I found it after looking for 14 years.
A 6 volume series of sax infused exotica inspired rock-n-roll stompers.
