This is one of those "miraculous" release album that have popped up in the late 80's and early 90's about a 70's lost album or "gem". This group got its name from a famous line from a record label executive not being impressed at these guys's live demonstration and told them: "Get Your Gear And F##k Off". . So these songs never got a release until 89, and come from 73 and the last two tracks from early 74 (all in mono), and they got released on the anecdotical label Background whose catalogue is full of extremely obscure (but rarely interesting) releases. Not much is known about the band's members past and future musical careers outside of this release.
