Peter and Mary Saving Grace remains something of a mystery. The band may have started in NYC, definitely were in San Francisco in the mid-late 70s, but this, their second single is marked "Made in L.A." Despite turning up rarely, it went through two pressings with different colored covers, but it might just be one vinyl pressing with two sleeve print runs -- I've never compared them side by side. And for years the few punk collectors who actually knew of this record thought it was their only release, but then an earlier 45, perhaps from 1976, was discovered last year where the band is billed as Peter and Mary Savinggrace (one word instead of two) and sounds more like Chrome. But it's this second single, released 1980 and probably recorded in 1978, which is their best, specifically Queen of the Night, which to quote a fellow collector is "a psychotic experience, about as messed up as anything you want to match up against it". I couldn't say it better. I'd recommend listening on headphones for the full brain-pummeling effect.
