Bureaucrats LP

I know the cover kind of looks like Nazareth's "Razamanaz", but they were an awesome punk band from Ottawa that started up in 1978. They had at least one ep out. This LP was released posthumously and collected studio recordings with 3 live tracks. The band featured the Sidwell brothers who were from Scotland so the British accent is not a fake. The band broke up in 1981 but did a reunion show in 2001. The release doesn't seem to have a label behind it, so this could have been self-released. Below are the liner notes.


The songs on here are:
1. Grown Up Age
2. The Game
3. Bureaucracy
4. Today & Everyday
5. Frustration
6. Girl of your Dreams
7. Now and Then
8. Feel the Pain
9. She's an American
10. A Question of Sport
11. Passion Bastards
12. You Never Wanted Me
13. as If We Didn't Know
14. Vaccination
15. Killing Ground
