Rock (Blues Rock)
A Blue Horizon Production 7-63203 on rear cover, S7-63203 on labels Stereo sticker on cover. This issue has a subtle label variation. There is no space between S and 7 on the labels matrix. Also, the b-side credits Goodie Two Shoes for tracks 3 and 5. Compare labels on Release 12262321. Josea is an alias of the Bihari brothers, used to steal 50% of the royals from the real artists. They never wrote any songs, so not linked here.
