[Mirror’s] Klimek is Dylan as seen through broken Ray Davies’ shades…it’s deadly genius.

Product Description
The liner notes alone are worth the price of admission. It’s clear that Jamie Klimek and his Mirrors are as gleefully damaged or as bubbly brutal as anything that came out of 70’s CLE – if all bands were like this, the world would be much better off. Klimek sounds like the backwash from a McDonald’s Milkshake – unhealthy & sweet (that’s a compliment). We’re as excited as pie here. Finally, this record is getting a proper release and hopefully it won’t put us out of business; the last label to put this out back in 1989 went under within a week of the release date, having shipped a precious few copies of the album—just another nail in the series of nails that have kept the Mirrors and their Cleveland brethren 6 feet under ground all these years. ROIR’s "Remodeled Coffin" comes complete w/ 13 bonus tracks culled from the "Nail" sessions and from sessions for a never-released second LP.

The lone review for Mirrors’ Another Nail in the Coffin (Resonance, 1989): "Premier power poppers…tumbling all bright and shiny out of the speakers, the Mirrors snap and shimmer through wrapped-up bundles of clever pop ditties, without holding back or playing suave and mature, ripping into hooks and harmonies as energetically as 19 year-olds…and while occasionally dizzying and confusing, the Mirrors’ pell-mell approach…can also take one’s breath away." – CMJ, Nov. ‘91
