Reviews
New beginnings in New England, new producers, new approach to recording. A return to Hipgnosis for the cover design and as usual that is full of visual puns and also the case of the disappearing person on the cover.
The album peaked at 22 in UK charts and 154 in the US. Judging by the photos on the inside of the gatefold, the band hadn't eaten since There's the Rub so good sales were essential. The album came out in December 1976 and IMNSHO is one of the highlights of the 2nd Era of the Ash to rival Argus.
This is the UK first issue MCG 3523 and my only gripe on the artwork is the almost unreadable red text on a picture background on the inside of the gatefold.
Sound wise I slightly prefer the US 1st issue but there's not a lot in it.- Probably the high point of WA MkII with some of my fav tracks. You Rescue Me is fragile and beautiful, Outward Bound rocks, Lorelie has some great guitar work. Every track is worthy of a place.
By the way the US cover has an extra "boy" in the cover image as well as green text. Not sure why?
