The hit on this album is "Brass In Pocket," but really, there was so much more to this, their debut and easily most memorable disc. "Tattoed Love Boys," "Mystery Acheivement," "The Wait" and especially "Precious" are several of the popular tracks that make this one of the best albums released in the 80s. Tho Chrissie was a real hypocrite towards animal rights and exposed as one on Howard Stern's show while dressed in leather no doubt, she had balls, as this disc and some of II, and Learning To Crawl show. 25 years ago, it wasn't very common to have a woman sing "but not me baby, I'm too precious, fuck off" and be taken as more than a novelty. But she did it.
Unfortunately the band, which changed members repeatedly, became a more lite rock act and had success with that. Oh well, the memories of this album will always last.
