Engine
Engine is the second album by American Music Club. It was jointly released by Frontier and Grifter Records in the US and by Zippo in the UK and Europe in 1987.[3][2] The 1998 Warner Bros. Records reissue added three additional tracks from the same period. The artwork for the Zippo UK release features an incorrect track listing, putting the songs in the wrong order.
