Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1978
I was reminded of this album in a discussion recently. I used to read the "Sounds" many years ago and a writer by the name of Geoff Barton gave the band a good write up. Anyway,I purchased this album expecting to be treated to pomp/prog rock with overblown layers of keyboards/synths and lush instrumental passages. I guess I should have been forewarned by the opening track. "Half a mind to leave ya". Track two was "Whatcha gonna do". Looking back I now realise I was in a sort of Slade "Mama weer all crazee now" "Cum on feel tha noize" area of hip, cool prog miss-spellings. Who talks like this anyway. "Whatcha"/"Leave ya". I half expected a "Gertcha" to pop up somewhere! I"m sorry to have to report that the songs on this album are are wishy-washy as the titles. None of them made me glad that I had bought the damn thing. I"m sure this album resides in some "Where are they now?" limbo. Definitely NOT in my top 200.
