HOW DO CHAIN & THE GANG DO IT? WITH HIGH FINANCE WIZARDRY AND A SINISTER GROUP OF OF SINISTER JINGLE-SMITHS, WHO ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DRECK AND DETRITUS OF THE RADIO? No way.

To fill the yawning chasm in music where fun, personality, charm, and content should be. IS THEIR'S AN ELITE CLUB OF ADVENTURERS, MYSTICS, PROPHETS, AND IMPRESARIOS? Yes, it is. WHAT DOES THE RECORD SOUND LIKE? As natural as falling off a log. The pure expression of a feral child with finger paint. IS IT AVAILABLE ON LONG PLAYING VINYL? Yes. The record is called IN COOL BLOOD (KLP240). WHY IS IT CALLED IN COOL BLOOD? THAT'S SCARY. Because Chain & the Gang are premeditatedly burying all bogus elements with a dirt heap of sonic primitivitism and verbal ingenuity. That's why.
