This one must have been a promo we got when I worked at a chain record store in a shopping mall. You can see from the last pic that the label, SST, ran a display contest. &#8220;Win a Plane Trip to a Trains Show.&#8221; I guess back in 1987 that would have motivated some folks, but there is no way a chain store in the mall was going cover a wall with record cover reprints, or &#8220;flats&#8221; as they were called, of an album titled <em>Fuck<\/em> that just happened to have &#8220;FUCK&#8221; printed big and bold on the front.<\/p>\n<p>A couple decades later a title like that seems more like a cheap attention-getting gimmick than it did to me at the time. It might work now, but I&#8217;m pretty certain this did nothing to help them sell records then. It&#8217;s not my favorite of the three LT records I have, but there are some great garage-punk-rock, body-moving songs on this album.<\/p>\n<p>Are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theleavingtrains.com\/\">The Leaving Trains<\/a> still making music?
