This Rastus record on now is the first record I ever bought with my own money -- not kidding! (Not this particular copy, of course.) I bought it because the cover features a crayfish wearing shades (and it was super-cheap).

EW&F and War aren't rock? But Malo is? Does not compute. I suppose Malo features more rock guitar, but still.
