Steel Pole Bath Tub - Auf Wiedersehen (1995)


So some of you may know that SPBT were once intending on covering The Cars first album in it's entirety (a couple of these songs did end up on Unlistenable) which never happened.  They also recorded a couple of covers of another beloved 80's band which was Cheap Trick.  They covered two of their big hits that everyone will recognize (even me and I was never really a fan) and they kept it as a pretty straight forward cover of the songs.  They don't seem to veer off much from the original songs which could be good or bad depending on who you ask I guess.  It's also got this great Communist propaganda style artwork by Frank Kozik and was released on Kozik's own Man's Ruin label.
