TWISTED SISTER
Come Out And Play
1985 Canada pressing

Truly a reprehensibly BAD album, & honestly what killed their career.
An utter abomination.

So why do I own it?
Because regardless of it’s terror, this was the 1st album I ever bought with my own money.
A cassette copy, from the Grafton Flea Market, age 9, for .25 cents.
It’s solely for sentimental purposes.

Every ten years, I put it on thinking it’s not that bad.
Spoiler alert:
It ABSOLUTELY is.
