My hand slipped when I was scanning the cover - that's gonna happen when you're cranking seminal Boston hardcore at 2am and I don't feel the need to apologize. Still blown away at the progression from "I Hate Tourists" in 1980 to this infectious hardcore masterpiece just two years later, but really I just don't understand why this record isn't up on the altar alongside the USHC essentials. This is the 1990s Taang! reissue that was available in bargain bins throughout the 2000s - pretty sure this copy was $5 at the store on Melrose on a WHN? SoCal trip, and it's still available for $6 direct from the label. That's how the classics should be, and Land Of The Lost is an absolute classic. Probably the most California sounding Boston act (check "Sickly Sweet" in particular), this record (tape) is nothing but track after track after track and I can't think of a better way to spend a Thursday. So yeah...if you're still thinking about that blurry cover scan....? I'm don't really know that I can help you and you might not find what you need here. For the rest of you though.....THE FREEZE.
