"Released entirely without our knowledge or consent (not that they need it), and certainly contains nothing of any interest - not even the cover, and certainly not that title. We wouldn't do that. Have you noticed that everyone puns with our name except us?" - Neil Peart
I remember seeing this as a kid in a record store, but I didn't end up buying it. I actually like the front cover photo...but beyond that, it's typical Mercury, looking to get in as much money-grubbing as they can....
