Recorded with an all-star Vancouver studio band that included members of Payola$, DOA, and Pointed Sticks—though pressed in Terre Haute by Columbia Records—the album blended sharp guitar-driven hooks with Lynch’s unmistakable snarling-yet-melodic vocals and wry, biting lyrics about love, betrayal, and urban alienation, all captured at W.A.V.E.S. studios in Santa Barbara.

A unique highlight is the playful \"party vocals, handclaps, and 'hurts'\" provided by Heather, alongside Lynch's own eclectic contributions on typewriter and additional keyboards. Though largely overlooked outside Western Canada at the time, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eBig Reward\u003c\/span\u003e has since earned cult classic status among collectors and historians of the early-80s Canadian new wave scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793876742425,"sku":"ARZ-37370","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-susan_lynch-big_reward.jpg?v=1783555184","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/arz-37370","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
