Akimbo Alogo was released with a couple of different covers. The original image shows Kim smoking a cigarette, and that had to be censored in some regions. I'm a passionate anti-smoker, but I cannot abide censorship. In that image, Kim is also wearing an OPP hat. I wonder if that was a reference to the Beatles.
Pye Dubois wrote the lyrics to all but one song on this record. This LP has one of Mitchell's biggest hits, Go For a Soda. That tune was used in a Miami Vice episode and it also showed up in an episode of The Trailer Park Boys.
I'd say that this is a pretty good pop record. When I heard it, though, I was reminded of how much I missed Max Webster. My copy has an unsightly gash on the cover :(
