I was totally addicted to this album back in the day. Played it endlessly on my way to BMX races all over New Jersey. Lucky someone made a copy of it a few years ago onto a CD.
True story. I had this album recorded for me by a buddy onto cassette back in the 80s. 1 side with this one side with Rodney on the Roq.
It vanished, years later I find it in another buddies car. Im like dude you got my tape, he was like now way dude its my tape. Im like dude , Ted made it for me...
New Order would be my favorite band of all time. Second would be a tie between Depeche Mode, The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen and the Clash.
Best ever lesser known bands would be Kon Kan and the Photos.
