Mean Time

 

CD

 

Losing drummer Nick Turner to The Lords Of The New Church, the Barracudas scrapped their second album sessions. With an expanded line-up including former Flamin' Groovies member Chris Wilson, they reconvened in the studio with producer Pete Gage (formerly in Vinegar Joe), rerecording several of the songs from the abandoned project as well as new material. The resulting 1983 LP has been remastered with bonus tracks for this CD reissue with enhanced booklet.
