Michael Davis played bass and Dennis Thompson played drums. By the way, I’ve been visiting your site for years, it’s one of my favorites.

When this album first came out, there was a LOT of critcism about it’s language, so ELEKTRA was forced to re-issue it somewhat censored. First-editions are hard to come by.
