All Sold Out 7''
Sub Pop

"Manos," the debut album by the Spinanes holds a prominent place on my top records of all time list. Whether their later output was actually a step down, or my placing that first record on such a high pedestal made for unfair judging of later material, who knows...either way, this seven inch is just okay. It appears to be the last material the band released before breaking up, oddly enough both songs Rolling Stones covers - the title track and "(S)he Smiled Sweetly." Sort of a strange note to go out on, but bands rarely plan their demise.
