Here is a review of the album I found online.....
"ha ... the elusive companion release to the Silly Surfers album finally rears it's head once again. Having spent the best part of an hour listening to 75% of these novelty sessions (with half of this offering previously appearing on the somewhat easier to find Hairy Records sampler) it was clearly apparent what this full-length release was going to offer ... and what it wasn't.
The vocals are clearly by the same crew that provided us with such memorable moments on the Hondells and Superstocks releases, but it's just a shame that the actual compositions aren't quite so memorable.
I still kinda like the sounds of "Leaky Boat Louie" and "Drag Hag", and a couple of the other tracks also have their toe-tappin' moments ... but "Honda Bike" or "School Is A/Gas" they ain't ...
Nevertheless, ignore it at your peril !
Note: For newcomers to this hot-roddin' genre it's worth pointing out that, despite the crossover of musicians, this bunch of Weird-Ohs has little connection to the other Weirdos, as accompanied by Mr Gasser. That clears that up then ..."
as for grade I'm definitely not an expert and haven't had much experience grading records, but going on what i've been able to find online I would grade the cover at vg- as the bottom seam of the cover is seperated and there is also some writing on the cover and I would grade the album itself as vg, some minor scratches but they dont seem to cause a skip while playing the record.
I do not warrant the grades as I said I'm not an expert and have very little experience grading records.
I tried to list all the defects I found
I'll combine shipping if multiple items are purchased
