Information/Write-up

Recorded for a soundtrack at the Montreal National Film Board in 1976 and released in 1977. “Absolutely killer reissue...phased-out spacetime bliss, with teenaged hot licks splayed all over while the band steers the vessel with some surprisingly talented drumming and steady rhythms...a killer riff-driven hard rocker that chugs with a certain punk-like menace...it’s so rare these days to find unheard-of gems like this, and the quality of both tracks is pretty impressive.”
- RK / Terminal Boredom, June 2012

Produced by B.J. Nero
Engineered by J. Cybanski

This Canadian teenage group from small-town Ontario had their own mature sound, predating punk and surpassing all older groups in the region. Recorded for a soundtrack at the Montreal National Film Board in 1976 and released nearly two years later, "Time" is a dynamic heavy rocker, whereas "Leaving This Crazy City" is a proto-punk surprise! Originally issued as a sleeveless gold labelled 45 in a very small edition, this Sphex 45 is an absolute treat for collectors of proto-punk and rare Canadiana.
