Funny how the only songs that stand out right now by these guys were their great covers of the old Cyrkle hit Red Rubber Ball and the old Max Frost And The Troopers hit Shape Of Things To Come.Everything else is a total blank for some reason,and yet I do have the album with both of those cover songs on them too.
