Bad guys don't deliver the goods
Review written by John Fitzgerald, June 23rd, 2005 Most of these recordings apparently started out on an album by a band called The Enemy Within released in 1986 and the album was called "A touch of sunburn". Then a few years later, the album was repackaged a few times over with bonus tracks, this is one of the rehashes wherein the releasing label was blowing up the fact that Peter Green (among others) had played on it (albeit in an obviously very minor way). I've heard rumblings that "Chinese white boy" may be the only track to include Green's work but even then, I don't know how reliable the information is that he is even on that track as I wouldn't have known he was on that track by listening to it. I only "know" from what tales I've heard. Green is listed as playing guitar and bass on this CD but states nothing further regarding his appearance so anyone's guess is as good as mine as to where he may be on this platter as I don't even know if the "Chinese white boy" legends were made before the releasing of the bonus tracks (which of course confuses the issue even further in that questions then arise to the effect of "Is he on any of those?"). Pressing on to the Enemy Within's music itself, these guys were obviously trying to do something they felt would be groundbreaking in some musical sense but I think few have been influenced by the recordings enclosed on this disc. The aforementioned "Chinese white boy" is a back and forth bouncer with twangy guitars (possibly trying to give it an oriental feel) and fuzzy vocals. "All quiet" is a funkish opener, "Rock and roll feeling" is a straight ahead rocker, "Doctor" is a rasping chirper, "Four minute melody" is a bouncy tumbler, "Post modern blues" is a plinking doodle, "Eprom song" starts promising but fades fast. "Intensity of vision" tries to sound futuristic and sophisticated but fails, "Camel's eye blues" includes thin searings, "Way you dance" is a new wave blues boogie that's not very useful, "End zone" has a suspenseful theme but instead of building off of hat, it goes nowhere. "Nietzsch's ass" is an unfunny rolling twanger, "Who do you love" is a cold mechanical cover, "Stab the knife" is a galloper that I think could've worked had it been done in a straightforward way and the yowler "Rosy" is a bland closer. Purely for Green completests and no other reason.

This album was originally released in 1986 as "A Touch Of Sunburn". In 1991 it was reissued with bonus tracks on CD as "Two Greens Make A Blues". This expanded edition was later re-released under the title "Greens' Blues" in 1998, and then again with 2 bonus tracks in 2003 as "Post Modern Blues".
Peter Green has neither lyrics or vocals on the album and is only one of six guitarists credited. He is listed for bass as well. Unfortunately, the album's liner notes do not indicate which songs he's on (though The Raven did reportedly say in a Record Collector interview that Peter did play on "Chinese White Boy" though he couldn't remember which other tracks he was on, possibly "Post Modern Blues" and/or "Eprom Song").
Ed Deane can also only say for sure that Peter only played on 'Chinese White Boy'. On that track (Peter) played bass and acoustic slide and (Ed) played guitar synth overdubbing his part later.
