Full review
Here we have one of the enduring albums of the 90's. An undisputed classic 1977 followed on from 'trailer' ash's first release a short album relatively unknown but a great introduction to this huge Irish trio. just as an aside If you have this album scan back from track 1 and you'll find 2 hidden tracks, a bonus! I have to say that I've bought all of Ash's singles and albums but they just couldnt top 'girl from mars' at current market prices it's a steal. I have to say though that if you are only familiar with ash's latest work (not including the disaster of nu-clear sounds) then you may find it a bit immature but you can see the potential for greatness This album will appeal to young and old alike, unlike 'nu-clear sounds' there is no swearing, a plus for parents. my recommendation is to buy this album get in your car and drive then plug in your air guitar or steering wheel bongos and just enjoy!
