After the Box Tops had their run, vocalist Alex Chilton teamed up with former high school classmate Chris Bell to form this short lived band whose legend survives today. Never doing much in the sales department, the band produced three albums of which this is the first and only before Bell left the band. Distribution mishaps were the supposed downfall and led to the final break up in 1974. The album failed to chart with singles of Don't Lie To Me and When My Baby's Beside Me. The band has recently reformed, minus Bell who died in a car accident in 1978.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Don't Lie To Me
Best Track - Thirteen
Won't you let me walk you home from school?
Won't you let me meet you at the pool?
Maybe Friday I can,
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you, ooh ooh
Won't you tell your dad, 'get off my back'?
Tell him what we said 'bout Paint It Black
Rock and roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you, ooh ooh
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it's over let me know
If it's nowhere I can go
I won't make you, ooh ooh
