Couldn't find much info regarding the history behind this release but I did find their website, and according to it they seemingly performed various mini(?) concerts throughout the 80s and won a woman's music contest of sorts. The group is still resuming their musical activities today, though the drummer has since then left and been replaced by another musician. Milky Mama's site allows you to order a CD version of this LP straight from the band themselves, however it has been out of print for a while and the CD itself is sadly poorly transferred from vinyl. Though short, the mini-album is pretty good for what its worth so I figured they deserved a proper transfer & restoration of their music. Enjoy!
