We have to make sure he comes good on that solemn promise, it is a great album, never been available on compact disc before this.
The next thing I want to talk about is a long lost MONDO ROCK EP which I think is the best recording Mondo Rock ever did release actually besides their classic debut album PRIMAL PARK in 1979.
I have never seen this recording on a compact disc either, just vinyl. It's called ALIENS, the title track has the extended name of ALIENS WALK AMONG US.
Only five songs to talk of, best to me is A WOMAN LIKE YOU which has a bit of a yankee metal edge to it, ALIENS is a great song too, perhaps more in the trad Mondo mould, then there is a quite convincing soul cover of I'M FREE which I have never heard Ross Wilson ever sing live or heard he had in all the years since, followed by a predictable but not sacrilegious re-mix of the the band's minor hit on the radio at the time, PRIMITIVE LOVE RITES.
To end off the EP off there is a tough, rootsy sounding blues rock embedded piece of grainy funk called WORKING MY WAY BACK.
I think I might well be pushing my luck but I really hope Ross gives thought about re-releasing this EP on compact disc while he is doing likewise for Dark Side of the Man.
