1967/ 1976
First I bought this album for cover and back cover and not for music (I bough this Ep without knowing the band's music except for "Everything About You") but with my great surprise the music is extreme good.

The cover of this album present Ugly Kid Joe in a great form: a sort of Bart Simpson but more rotten). Also the booklet back cover is great if you search a rotten position in this society: a stick of dynamite in the pants of a cat must have reported my friend Tex to UKJ!!! Clearly this cat isn't Tom!!!

The music is great: sleazy, blusy, bastard, rotten, with tons of power, melodic and sought (although a boogie rock derived from AC/ DC and similars). Clear the production is not invasive: the music have a great power, maybe also because melodic. I prefer, in this Ep, songs like "too bad" or the mega hit "Everithing About You". This song is melodic but with great guitars and feeling, how every hit should have (it will win and become a blockbuster in your mind). Interesting is also the cover of "Sweet Life" (Black Sabbath) in a double track with "Funky Fresh Country Club".

In definitive UKJ is a great band. Unfortunately this is their only release that I have. With satsfaction. And, in truth I recommended this release to all of pure metalheads that have interesting in Glam Metal.
