Cheater Slicks - Don't Like You

"In 1995 In The Red released the Cheater Slicks fourth full length album, Don't Like You. The band, based in Boston at the time, travelled to New York to record at Jerry Teel's Funhouse studio with Jon Spencer acting as producer. The result was a completely over the top noisefest that remains one of my favorite ITR releases to this day. Admittedly, Jon's production was heavy-handed and extreme but, I thought it suited the band and this material well."Prior to the recording the band demoed their material at a couple of different eight track studios in Boston. The demos showed that the band had enough material for an album that would be (in my opinion) their strongest to date. When the album was released it was very well received but there was a small number of people close to the band and myself who were critical of Jon's production and preferred the straight forward recording of the demos. "With vinyl for Don't Like You being out of print for decades I figured the album's 30th anniversary was a good time for a re-release and to finally release the demos as well. I think both stand the test of time." - Larry Hardy
