Not too sure about a CD. I need to join the 21st century & burn some of this great old vinyl. The song Stained Sheets starts out with a ringing telephone (a la big bopper) with James answering with "who is this, and what do you want?" This is followed by a lot of seductive moaning & groaning by one Stella Rico (shown on the sleeve fom the waist down in bondage). This continues on with a plodding monotonous beat, lots of verbal abuse and James' trademark bursts of hysterical sax. Very cool album cover, early 60's look with James Chance in black slacks, white dinner jacket & skinny black tie holding his sax, looking very much like a pouting, young Frank Sinatra (chairman of the bored?). I think Lee Ving (FEAR) must have been listening to this when he wrote "New York's allright (if you like saxophones)".
