Side a: Mean streets
Side b: Heads will roll

Fantastic punk/powerpop platter by Davis James. This record is a mystery for me. I haven't found informations about Davis James nor the Label "RIM records". Released without a sleeve but with a single printed card and a sticker. The scan is from the sticker. It has the better contrasts.
I hope you will love this record like i do!
