    Great album. Is there any issue that contains the lyrics to "Bells and Horns in the Back of Beyond"? In my CD booklet that song is missing.

      Arguably the height of the groups 80's releases, I much prefer this era over their more commercialized follow up, Diesel and Dust. Still some solid albums after but nothing that can compare to the biting energy on display here.

        I seem to have a copy with a different runout/matrix. It's still Made In Australia but Side A runout is: LOOK! STILL SUSTAINING BILBO.TAPE ONE, LONDON MX 204865-B SBP 8027-1
        Side B runout is: ICE CREAM SAN DOKU DESUKA BILBO.TAPE ONE, LONDON MX 204866-E SBP 8027-2
        Only audible difference I've heard is the final snare hit on "Best Of Both Worlds". Would be interested to figure out if it's a different issue or just a reissue.
