Of the 12 songs, 5 are covers and 2 are instrumentals, so this album really shows what the band wants to play.
The fifth album released in 1982. Six songs were released as singles: "(Oh) Pretty Woman," "Dancing in the Street," "Secrets," "Little Guitars," "The Full Bug," and "Where Have All the Good Times Gone." Many of the songs were released as singles, including recuts.
"(Oh) Pretty Woman" is a cover of a Roy Orbison song, which the band itself often performs live. "Dancing in the Street" is a cover of Martha and the Vandellas. "Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)" is a cover of Margaret Young's song, written in 1924. Jan Van Halen, the father of the Van Halen brothers, participates on clarinet. Incidentally, there are two instrumental tracks, "Cathedral" and "Little Guitars (Intro)." Both tracks allow you to enjoy Eddie's guitar technique.
