Great album and track - arguably the last
really good album by them as the quality dwindled a bit after that, I think due to band/management issues, and I'm not so keen on Spaghetti's solo stuff (although I like their country album, 'Must've Been High'). They're very consistent so if you like that it's worth picking up the rest of their stuff from around that period or earier. I never gave their later albums as much of a chance admittedly.
My personal favourite is probably 'La Mano Cornuda', one of my most played rock n' roll albums. The opening track, 'Creepy Jackalope Eye', is still one of my favourites, as is the brilliantly titled 'How to Maximise Your Kill Count'. As the album is less than 30 mins they put the entire album again on a hidden track.
They used to play the UK a fair amount. I think I've got their set-list somewhere as I went to their gig at the Highbury Garage and stood at the front - that was about 13 years ago when they had just released 'Evil Powers..', so they played a whole bunch from that album.
