I think I'm refering to the old "Surf Crazy" Crescendo LP
(cassette?) with Bob Vaught and the Renegaids among

If my memory serves me right, that LP had super-crappy
dynamics, lack of tuning and sloppy barely audible drums.
I guess I was saying I could do really sloppy and crappy
real drums in my garage.
