No indication of notability in the article. Can't find any significant coverage in reliable sources. AllMusic devotes all of two sentences to the album, and that's all I was able to find anywhere. Powers ^T 23:28, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The results from GBooks are actually very generous [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]. While in some cases only a sentence is visible, it is easy to see from the context that they talk about the album in a critical manner. The results from GNews are mostly regarding the band's most recent activities, but here's an old review [9], and these three make note of the album as being significant [10] [11] [12] — frankie (talk) 16:28, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Those Books results look to be primarily mentions not actual coverage. Powers ^T 17:47, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reagrdless of how many characters it takes, the content is mostly focused on the album, and in its treated in terms of its musical value. Even those that are just mentions appear in the context of critical analysis, as opposed as being mentioned in a list of all albums released that year, with the sixth link saying that it is one of the few worth seeking out (of that place/era/genre). And, again, the last three articles mention the album as one of the most significant of the band. The one from puglialive.net states that it achieved gold status, but I don't know how to verify that — frankie (talk) 19:11, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a genre classic. It's also ranked in top 100 record of 1985 on rateyourmusic and one the essential garage rock revival albums of the eighties. It's also rated 4.57 / 5 on discogs — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.236.130.171 (talk) 18:50, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete needs significant third party coverage. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:36, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

'Keep and rescue per WP:BEFORE - more than passing mention at several sites and in books. Bearian (talk) 19:45, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No apparent reason to call this band or their album notable, and no reliable sources cited. --DThomsen8 (talk) 21:53, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
