As Jeff has been going through Tim's old record collection, every once in a while he will pull something out and give it to me for free. A band or a record that is a strong common thread between the three of us, and is just something that Jeff figures that I need on my shelf. Trouble is that kind of band. They were an important band for Jeff and Tim while growing up, and much later as Jeff and became friends, Trouble was a common bond between the two of us.
Of the four classic 80's Trouble records, from Psalm 9 through the self titled on Def American, the only one that I was missing was The Skull (which was the name that Eric Singer used for his last band before his untimely death during covid due to complications... and Jeff were lucky enough to have seen them live in Portland back in 2019). All of that, to say that Trouble and The Skull are a special connection for Jeff and I, so I was very happy when he handed me a copy of the album to fill the hole in my collection.
The cover of this copy shows a bit more wear than I typically like, but the vinyl is mint and it means a lot to have Tim's copy.
