This is The Specs'(The original Specs from Riverside California) first recording from 1991. It was a cassette only release which I have never been able to find another original copy of since mine disappeared. Luckily I made a friend a copy of my original tape way back in the days and after all these years he still has it. The sound quality is terrible - there is a constant tape-hiss all the way through and almost every song warps or has tape fading but those of you who know this album should appreciate it nonetheless.
And, though I don't have the original tape I do still have the cover - the scans are included in the download with the lyrics and all.

This is cool. Just happen to stumble upon this site. I'm Mike Menchaca singer, co-sonwriter and trumpet player of the original Specs. Cool to hear people still like the songs. I really loved singing My Soles the best. Maybe a Specs reunion show?
@MIKE MENCHACA I know Gurjinder. He played trombone!
Loved The Specs! Played this tape to death... Listening to this takes me right back to Spanky's Cafe and the year 1991.. Specs reunion, yes please!!!!
Can anyone help me find Jeff braun?
