I adored this when I first heard it many moons ago. And Strychnine is still a punk classic, despite the various attempts to murder it, not least by The Fall. Along with Psycho, the original compositions are the standouts here. Overall, this feels like a US version of the early Stones . Have Love is a lot of fun, but hearing this again, these are largely fairly straightforward covers, and mostly not a patch on the originals in terms of energy. You probably had to be here, but - perhaps because of time elapsed - this wasn't as as thrilling as I remembered it to be. Psycho and Strychnine do make it worth the price of admission on their own, but they make me that wish they'd written a few more of their own songs.
