JXB So glad to find this! I saw Get Smart many times in Chicago and they always put on a great show. Never had any of their music until I came across a copy of Action Reaction at a used record store in Fairbanks, Alaska in 2018. How it ended up there I'll never know...

Kisston Gorgeous I met Lisa at a local gig recently & when she posted about Get Smart!'s new album (well, older album that has just now been released), I delved into their music & came out loving this album too much to not have in my collection. Great to hear good music that is new to my ears. Favorite track: See Who's Laughing.
