Comments: This is a secular release by Tommy Funderburk and Bob Wilson, who first teamed up as The Front for one s/t release on Refuge Records in the mid 1980s.  While their first outing was light rock at best, this album is the real deal with big guitars and all.  This Japanese-only reissue provided a very welcome decrease in the high value of the original CD release on RCA in 1987.  It's also supposedly remastered ("K2 mastering").
