This is the debut studio album by the enigmatic British artist Bunk Dogger, a pseudonym for session musician Tim Phillips. Phillips adopted the persona to explore a diverse range of styles, blending New Wave energy with 1950s rock-and-roll revivalism. The project was notably mysterious, as the label provided very little information about the artist's true identity at the time of release.
Additional Features: The album was produced by Tony Cox at Sawmills Studio in Cornwall and features high-profile session contributions from backing vocalist Lesley Duncan and bassist John Atkinson. The tracklist includes original compositions alongside stylized covers of Cole Porter's "Night and Day" and Leiber & Stoller's "Smokey Joe's Cafe."
Vinyl: The bright orange RCA Victor center label is exceptionally clean and vibrant with no visible spindle marks. The vinyl surface appears well-preserved with a high gloss.
Sleeve: Shows visible signs of shelf life, including edge wear (scuffing) and light creasing along the spine. A small white "3/46" inventory or price sticker is present in the upper right corner.
