Etched on the side one run-off area is '1-23931-A5R4', and a symbol/letters I can't understand. On side two, '1-23931-B5R4', the same unidentified symbol as on the first side. Vinyl is in super excellent / near mint condition, the cover is excellent. THEIR BEST RECORD!!!   JOHN DOE - BASS,   BILLY ZOOM - GUITARS,    EXENE CERVENKA - VOCALS,   D.J.BONEBREAK - DRUMS PLUS, produced by RAY MANZAREK *** for track listing, check the close-up photo of the back of the cover!
Robert Christgau's 1980 review ---  Wild Gift [Slash, 1981 Hippies couldn't understand jealousy because they believed in universal love; punks can't understand it because they believe sex is a doomed reflex of existentially discrete monads. As X-Catholics obsessed with a guilt they can't accept and committed to a subculture that gives them no peace, Exene and John Doe are prey to both misconceptions, and their struggle with them is thrilling and edifying--would the Ramones could cop to such wisdom. Who knows whether the insightful ministrations of their guitarist will prove as therapeutic for them as for you and me, but I say trust a bohemian bearing gifts. How often do we get a great love album and a great punk album in the same package? A+   


One of the best albums of the 1980's, and sounds even better today!
