    I was bought this as a little kid in the 70s & by the early 80s was amazed/confused by the middle eights and guitar solos that were otherwise edited out from the TV. However this album didn't really shine 'til it was discovered by tripping friends in the 90s! Heavy Action indeed!

      Bloody hell, the bloke on the front cover of this album is pure nightmare fuel.
