That'd be me. I finally got my copy of "Crack a Smile..." and I love it! I've never been a poison fan, the two or three radio friendly songs that went big in the late 80's were good fun but lacked the punch that I was into at the time, hence every subsequent Poison release went unnoticed by my good self. But thanks to Dogga who taped me a copy of the bootleg (cheers marrow!), I got to hear this album a while ago and have been loving it ever since. Little did I know that the final release would contain four or five other tracks that weren't on the bootleg, I'm having a ball with it. The unfinished demo of the track "Crack a Smile" is a let down and the MTV stuff never appealed to me either, but the album plus outtakes has my cd player overheating on repeat. Fantastic. Just thought I'd rant.

Cheers and beers
