Thank you bigfootkit!

Pleasure to hear these - especially that first ep. I remember so well buying it at my local import joint and having no idea what it would sound like but being attracted to the cover and slightly "weird" name.

My pleasure In The Raw.
It always struck me as odd that such an individual band name would spawn 2 others with the same (almost) monicker. I refer to the German Taipan and, if memory serves, another called Tai Pan.
I know what you mean about the cover art, it's a bit cheesy, but very cool at the same time.

The artwork on the orig 7" pressing is also odd but endearing, at least IMO

I love this EP, quite close to the 1st godly LA GUNS album.

Hey, I think that one is pretty good as well. Hm, maybe I should listen to it again?

Taipan were quite good. Looking to upgrade my copy of this one in time.
