A band that should have gone places but did not, primarily due to Sumner Merling deciding that the music industry "sucks"
This was the band's one and only album release, note that the producer was Jack Nitzsche (Phil Spector associate)
Sumner's daughter (Natalie) also became involved in the music industry, she joined bands such as the Jackie-O Motherfuckers (Portland) and noise band Nautical Almanac. She now is performing as an artist in her own right, look for her stage name, Weyes Bood.
SUMNER - Self Titled
Asylum Records
Cat# 6E-266
1980
Australian release
Cover is in very good condition, no tears, no seam splits, no writing and clean. Very light edgewear from normal handling.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see only a couple of very light scratches or marks on either side. Just looking at the vinyl is not a great way to judge the condition so I then played the album ENTIRELY, both sides and every track, and there are no issues with surface noise nor clicks/pops. Good play, good rock!
New outer protective sleeve
TRACKS: Radioland, Dynamite, Wishes, Hot Night, No Time To Stop, Run Cindy Run, It Ain't Up To Me, You Excite Me, More Beer
