“[…] No sólo el disco debut de la banda resulta tan excitante como sus directos sino que además de nuevo consiguen sorprenderme, tanto en la
calidad de los temas, todos composiciones propias, como en lo bien equilibrados que resultan para un EP de cuatro canciones […]”. (DJ Francho).
“[…] so here’s the proof how extremely hot mercury can be if you slide this disc into the record player, play it loud and crash the party with Anita
O’Night & the Mercury Trio… Red Hot Rockabilly at its best […]” (DJ Rock-Ola Jordi).
