Save the world! Save the world! From this grotesque exhibition...
" Gatefold sleeve with enhanced artwork and complete lyrics; includes four bonus tracks, most never released before; edition of 750.
"
David Scott's compositions sound something like
The Carpenters
and Burt Bacharach -- except much more poppy, upbeat, and current!
