TRUST

Click for large image

This was a "6- or 7-flight album", this being the number of times Bruce's Fender bass was thrown at Pete Thomas. The rowing continued and Nick Lowe advised the group to "Pullover onto the hard shoulder". Elvis described this "dissolute record" the result of the band being "at a physical low". The singles released from this album made absolutely no impression on the charts.

"Good manners and bad breath will get you nowhere"
(New Lace Sleeves).
