The Dictators 'Go Girl Crazy!' (1975)
Produced by the Sandy Pearlman/Murray Krugman team responsible for the Blue Õyster Cult, The Dictators Go Girl Crazy! is a wickedly funny, brilliantly played and hopelessly naïve masterpiece of self-indulgent smartass rock'n'roll, pre-indie-rock proof that regular kids could make the major-label record (as if there were an alternative at the time) they always imagined. The Rosetta Stone of punk pop and an absolute classic released years before a company like Epic could even begin to imagine how to convince anyone to buy it. - trouser press

I read about this record for years before I finally found a copy (of course this is way back in the 70s), and it did not disappoint. Cars and Girls - the best song the beach boys never recorded.
Thanks. Amazing. Never heard them, though heard of them for years. Simply great.
