Vinyl plays with occasional light-crackles (play-graded). Cover looks good; several creases along edges, moderate scuffing and some surface impressions (front/back); front has some tiny surface abrasions near center and sticker residue at top right. Inner-sleeve is generic white. Spine is mostly readable with wear. Shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and a few small divots. (Not a cut-out.)
After stunning the rock world with their memorable debut in 1975, the Tubes ran into trouble. Although Young And Rich and Now had fine moments, they were uneven and left many rock pundits wondering if the Tubes had anything to offer besides shock value. They got their answer with the release of Remote Control, a cohesive and surprisingly thoughtful concept album. On this 1979 outing, the Tubes enlisted the services of wunderkind producer Todd Rundgren to create a concept album that skewers the television generation. The choice was a wise one - Rundgren helped the group harness their satirical bite and love of pomp-rock excess to create a sharp and engaging collection of songs. Prime Time was a Top 40 hit in the UK.
