Grin: All Out
Metal Mike Saunders, Phonograph Record, March 1973
IF YOU'RE A Nils Lofgren fan, the first thing you'll notice here is that the whole setup is wrong. The album flops open from the top, which means that it'll warp the next three LPs beside it. Number two, a lyric sheet is enclosed inside. Third and worst, Kathy McDonald is listed as singing backup vocals on five cuts (all five are bummers).
