C.Q. (Seek You) packs a huge punch straight off. Misfit is a fucking sledge hammer.The Outsiders were pretty well unknown in the states when they released their 3rd LP, and some of that had to do with them being from the Netherlands.
They are not to be confused with the other, American, Outsiders of the blazingly hot Nuggets track Time Won’t Let Me.
C.Q. is thoroughly psychedelic however, and a must own for fans of the genre. It almost sounds like S.F. Sorrow at times, but sometimes you’d be surprised that this wasn’t recorded at CBGBs in the late 70s.
I’d even say The Outsiders ought to have some credit in the punk sound with this record. Seems their shows had the punk sensibility going on around then.
Out of the many gems on this one, Prison Song is a necessary listen, a really dramatic story-piece that I would kill to see performed live.
Apparently, it’s included as a twofer with their album Relax, which is a shame because C.Q. deserves its own packaging, especially with that singular cover art.
Hopefully, you can flip the liner notes around so C.Q. is on the front (by Brendan from therisingstorm.net).
