Factoryからのシングルは猥雑なエナジーをコンパクトにまとめた最高の出来だったが、其の後Factory Beneluxからリリースされた本盤は彼らの本質が顕になったPsychedelic Folk。レーベルの判断で修正されリリースされたタイトルはバンド名のアナグラムより。

Television、Primal Screamなど非常に多くのバンドにカバーされる、数有るサイケバンドの中でも唯一無二である彼らの名盤1st "The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor"からのアウトテイク＆地元テキサスにて、SFに移住前のお別れライヴ。熱心なファンでは無いが何故か結構所有しているオレなので、あえて安いカット盤を買った記憶有り。何故エレクトリック・ジャグなのか、といつも思う。

ベルギー国内に向けての発売からか、フランス語でのバンド名＆タイトルのシングル。タイトル英訳は「I Want Your Love」だが、オリジナル名は「Dirty Disco」。Side BはACR/Blown Awayそのまんまだが、PIL/Flowers Of Romanceリリースと同年なので納得。決してオレには真似出来ないジャケットが最高である。
