I heard them doing a version of 'Pretty Vacant', and Glen honestly did put the emphasis on PRETTTY

It's an awfy pretentious album cover for 1978.

Looks more 1982ish. aristojar

Really odd/bad production.

Quote :: Reception

A point of criticism for the album was its production.

In its retrospective review, AllMusic wrote that the album "failed to live up to the promise of the single ["Ghosts of Princes in Towers"], in most cases trading punky power-pop in favour of more dirge-like hard rock – muddy sound doesn't help matters either."

Trouser Press wrote that "despite abysmal sound, the band's talent emerges, and Ghosts is an extraordinary album of daring experimental rock/pop".

Sudden, random increase in volume.

Does sound a bit Simple Mindsish.
