Comments:

A collaboration of Rollins and Andrew Weiss, with Sim Cain doing drum fills on one track. It sounds like half a Rollins Band. The lyrics are provocative, fascinating, and different from Rollins Band stuff. The musical backing is also neat and quite different from Rollins Band material, and a must for Andrew Weiss fanatics. WARTIME's cover of the Grateful Dead's FRANKLIN'S TOWER is surreal and strange.

I've received new information on this disc: It was in fact released in 1990, and there was a video which received some airplay. Copies from 1990 do not feature the 'FEATURING HENRY ROLLINS' found on the cover scanned above. The disc was then rereleased in 1994 to try and capitalize upon the popularity of WEIGHT, although all the copyrights on the disc and packaging still say 1990. The rift between Rollins and Andrew Weiss means there is probably more to the story here. Many thanks to Andy for providing information for this entry.
