Emerging from Massachusetts’ rock scene, this 1981 release on EMI America showcases tracks like \"Mind Control\" and \"What I Tell Myself,\" where the band blends melodic hooks with tight group interplay. The album’s mix of humor and earnest songwriting places it as a unique entry in the early ‘80s rock landscape, inviting listeners who appreciate both craft and a touch of irreverence—proof that serious musicians don’t always take themselves too seriously. This 1981 vinyl pressing presents the album in clean condition, with only minor surface marks unlikely to affect playback, making it a solid choice for collectors and fans wanting to hear this set as it was originally issued. The glossy vinyl reflects careful handling, and the 12-inch format ensures the full dynamic range of the band’s acoustic lineup comes through clearly. It’s the kind of record that keeps the party in the music without needing a party to start it—a neat trick in any record bin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-track-listing=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTrack listing \u0026amp; samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Fools - Heavy Mental\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMind Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDressed In White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAround The Block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocal Talent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLost Number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat I Tell Myself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast Cadillac On Earth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComing Home With Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning Scared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTell Me You Love Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlibi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embeds\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/06ulVhfVh0oPCNyaLcVage\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG++ \/ VG \/ 1981","offer_id":67623654719804,"sku":"DEN00000977","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/OC05Mjg3LmpwZWc.jpg?v=1791067874","url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/products\/the-fools-heavy-mental-lp-100326-den00000977","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
