Reviews
One of the best glam albums released in my opinion. Sounds great on vinyl as well. All the tracks have super fantastic lyrics and vocals. Compared their non-album singles like Ball Park Incident and See My Baby Jive (which were released before the album), it's rather underrated.
Someone mentioned about having a remaster release. There already has on CD with bonus tracks, not on vinyl. Though I wouldn't want to see that. I don't agree with remasters in general with how they take all the rawness out of them and stuff.
Would recommend this album.
Edited 2 years agoAn absolutely classic LP in every way... almost.
Featuring incredible songwriting, arrangements and performances from Roy Wood and his Wizzard ensemble - all at the top of their game. It’s almost like the singles that preceded this LP were just a candy-coated taster, cos this is so deeply-dipped in ring modulation that it can sometimes be a challenging listen, but one that definitely rewards the listener who revisits and perseveres.
Much as I love everything about this LP, I would LOVE to hear a remix. A remastering/ remix job on the original master tapes - emulating the same production values as those classic "mini-opera" ’72-’73 singles would freshen it up, and bring out the best of the performances.
Putting all those points aside, I believe this is EASILY the best Wizzard/ Roy Wood LP from his “golden era”. It shines a light on the incredible talent of Roy Wood, and captures the breathtaking fearlessness of what an eight-piece band full of players could capture in the studio - pushing the boundaries of (Glam) Rock ’n’ Roll in a way that no-one else could quite achieve.
4.5 Stars (not an option here, so awarded the full 5)- sometimes when i listen to this album i have the feeling i listen to "slade on acid" :-))
