The record itself is a couple likable garage rock jams.  That I couldn't remember either side meant that...

Columbus Ohio's Gibson Brothers were pretty well into their discography when Sympathy For The Record Industry put out this covers single in 1991.  The A-Side was a spitting version of the Avengers ode to the working man and the B-side was a live knock off of Cab Calloway  minus the most known refrain...
