Spit Shine Shimmy

 

 

Once more B.A.L.L. takes a switchblade to the 70s rock sound & slice off a steaming slab of bird. "20 new anthems packaged in a belly laugh". Cover artwork riffing on the original Beatles Yesterday & Today Baby Butcher cover. This record ramps up the hipper-than-thou pretentions they outline on their first release. Fortunately Don Fleming's dirty guitar grind keeps them from falling into the chasm of their own cleverness.

B.A.L.L. - Bird,  Shimmy Disc shimmy 014, 1988.

    1. Most welcome & glad I could help.

      Copy the code from the first comment. Select "B.A.L.L. - Bird" beneath the album art. That will take you to MEGA. Paste the code you copied when prompted. That's it.
