Sunshine World- The Scenics studio recordings 1977/78
“It wasn't so much that The Scenics were ahead of their time in 1977, it's more that almost everybody else didn't even know what time it was. New York had Talking Heads, and England was blessed with XTC, but here was their equal in Toronto...” Bob Mersereau, author of "the Top 100 Canadian Albums"
