I'll add that Carol Kenyon has never sounded better than on the standout vocal ballad "Ships That Pass In The Night".
Take note also of the instrumentals "Taking Time", Making Waves" and the jazz dance epic "Brazil Nut".
In fact the entire album is excellent, a great representation of the UK jazz-funk scene from around the early 80s.
Morrissey Mullen were a wonderful band to see and hear live. Their albums never quite captured the energy and passion of the live sets but had a polish and swagger all their own. "Up", "Cape Wrath", "Badness", "It's About Time" and "This Must Be The Place"; each has a different vocal lead which makes it all the more interesting. Excellent stuff. - Honestly very underrated brit jazzfunk for the price. The highlights here are definitely the title track and "Come and Get Me".
