Golden Calgarians: It's Fun to Be Alive (1982)


Here's the first Golden Calgarian's LP, from way back in 1982. Somewhere between the Remains practice tape and this, original guitarist Scott Fawcett split and was replaced by Sandwiches/future Sacred Heart of Elvis guitarist Tim Campbell.  

Since we don't have a scan of the back cover (we're too lazy to do the whole scanning a 12" in pieces thing), here's Golden Rock's transcription:

Side X
(You're Stepping on My New) Boots
Golden Calgarians
Deviation
The Dancing Floor
Herpes Simplex II

Side Y

Desert Walk
It Could Happen

It's fun to be alive, but not to have herpes simplex II.
