MUSCLE CAR

Whenever people ask me where the band name came from… Well, here’s the answer… Track 1. Top is the LP from 1993, bottom is the single from 1992.

It might no work out so cheap for USA folks with the dollar like it is but then again, when I was there I paid $12 for some singles that were imports so maybe it isn’t so bad? Anyway, check it out…
