Finally... the reissue of of superb Bridport, Dorset, born punky blues and alt-rock loaded singer/songwriters 2nd album and major label debut - minimal and rough - filled with heavy feedback and distortion interrupted by unexpected quiet breaks... originally released when grunge was the thing wayback in 1993 - recorded with ex Big Black frontman and producer Steve Albini behind the wheel - featuring the singles  "50ft Queenie" and "Man-Size".

Rolling Stone wrote that the album "is charged with aggressive eroticism and rock fury. It careens from blues to goth to grunge, often in the space of a single song."

The album is released as a 180 gram vinyl pressing - complete with printed inner sleeve and with same cover artwork as the 1993 original - incl. download code.
