“52 Girls” was a great song, it was on a mix tape next to 999’s “Action” that circulated through tons of skaters back in my hometown. Jenny Swan used to get rowdy and dance to “52 Girls” in my room and I remember I had to put a Pink Pearl eraser on the tone arm of my record player to weigh down the needle so the record wouldn’t skip!
A skitterboarder did the colors on their album -Cosmic thing. My first freelance job in New York. Just for your interest.
