I've never owned this title on LP, and didn't hear the album until the CD era. And honestly that cover isn't inviting me to do so. But I will say that Birth Control's music continues to go up in my book. This, their 3rd album, takes the hard rocking first 2 albums to the next level. This really is heavy prog rock versus the simple music the band is often accused of. They were to regress on their next album, before really going all in for prog starting with Plastic People. That 2004 live album I went on about a few years ago tells me that Birth Control stayed relevant for many years. Still haven't heard anything else from that era of the band. Anyway Hoodoo Man is essential, and if I do find the LP in the wilds, I'll keep it. But I won't seek it out otherwise.
Ownership: CD: 1994 Columbia. Standard jewel case release.
2014; 2/2/23 (CD 4.2); 4/8/23 (new entry)
