A crazed psychobilly quartet which later fragmented into the Workdogs and '68 Comeback, the Gibson Bros. formed in Ohio during the mid-'80s, playing barely competent yet totally energetic bluesy roots rock which later became a staple of indie rock through groups like the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Mule, and the Delta 72. Vocalist/guitarists Don Howland (formerly with Great Plains) and Jeff Evans were the most stable members of the group, though third guitarist Dan Dow and drummer Ellen Hoover also appeared on the Gibson Bros.' first three albums, the obscure 1986 cassette-only Build a Raft plus the Homestead releases Big Pine Boogie and Dedicated Fool.

I have graded the vinyl Excellent as I can see hardly any signs of use or wear.

Excellent – tolerating very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.

I have graded the sleeve Very Good Plus, as here there are signs of use and wear over time.  There is also a new inner sleeve with a soft protective lining, as well as a thicker outer cover and a photographic frontispiece.
