And now a full-on blues. And a BRUTAL fade.

They should have rethought the fade though.....

[Nancy]

A little slide work...

[Spock!]

Enjoying the bass playing on this in particular.

[kath]

More blues, although much happier blues.

Agreed – it is difficult to select just one album for JJ to follow up with!

I hear some "Dust my Blues" in there. Or "The Nazz are Blue"?

Definitely a touch of Elmore.

It is very good throughout

First time hearing this particular remaster. Much improved from the previous one, which was too shrill.

Agreed - this is much improved

From the drift of recommendations, the first five are the best.

Much merit in starting from the beginning?



Living on your own is excellent - perhaps the most prog track on the album - lots of little sections, very well linked.

"Living on your own" probably has the strongest melody on this album. Could totally work without the loud guitars.

Extended instrumental part definitely seems influenced by "Beck's Bolero."

[kath]

budgie bolero section!

[Nancy]

Tony Bourge is just vastly underrated.

it is fantastic. epic in its way, yet has an uplifting-movement feel to me.

Starting from the beginning is probably a great idea if you're really liking this album. And I would venture past Bandolier if you find yourself liking how they branched out on it. If I Were Brittania... is quirky but great and Impeckable has some great moments as well. Stop there unless you like AC/DC as Power Supply saw them go full-on NWOBHM with a new guitarist and four-on-the-floor drums. I love Power Supply and Night Flight, but they are a totally different animal to what came before.

Great album

Great company

Thanks all
