Strypes, The
Snapshot

Listening notes

The Strypes released their debut album, Snapshot, in 2013 on Virgin EMI Records (catalog number 3738521). The record was issued on vinyl and spans thirteen tracks across two sides, drawing on genres catalogued as Blues, Rhythm & Blues, Rock, and Rock & Roll.

Side A opens with "Mystery Man" at 2:43 and moves through "Blue Collar Jane" (2:50), "I'm A Hog For You Baby" (3:30), "What The People Don't See" (2:56), "She's So Fine" (2:19), and "I Can Tell" (3:42), closing with "Angel Eyes," the side's longest entry at 4:10. Side B begins with "Perfect Storm" (2:23) and continues through "You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover" (2:16), "What A Shame" (2:24), "Hometown Girls" (3:05), and "Heart Of The City" (3:18), concluding with "Rollin' And Tumblin'" at 4:03.

The tracklist is notable for its brevity. The majority of cuts on Side A run under three minutes, a characteristic shared by several of the Side B selections as well. "Rollin' And Tumblin'" and "Angel Eyes" are the album's two longest tracks, at 4:03 and 4:10 respectively, while "You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover" is the shortest at 2:16. Across both sides the album's total running time is compact by most standards, consistent with the economic track lengths associated with the genre traditions the record situates itself within.

The vinyl edition carries catalog number 3738521 and represents the band's formal entry into the Virgin EMI catalog. Collectors and researchers working from this specific pressing should verify matrix and runout details independently, as those particulars fall outside the scope of the information confirmed here.
