It's been a long time

"I have checked various music distribution sources year after year, literally for decades, chasing this album. I first bought it in 1972 when I was a 21 year old USN recruit. I played it hundreds of times and somewhere over the years it either wore out or was lost. Either way I have wanted to hear it again for many years. Finally here it is and I am not dissapointed. Fortunately they rarely slip into the doldrums of 'progressive' 1970s music. As I listen to it now I am reminded of why I loved the record. When these guys are playing straight rock-and-roll they kill. They're right up there with the best of that era. This is not just a curiosity record with an excellent cover, it is an excellent album with great songs and awesome performances throughout. I would actually give it 4 1/2 stars if that option was available. Buy it now!"
Finally!!

"I haven't heard this since giving up on lp's some years back, and have beeh anxiously waiting for this on cd: Thanks to Wounded Bird for finally releasing this lost classic!! You gotta love musicians who are serious about songwriting and arranging, while occasionally overdoing it, these particular characters got it right, still rocking when the overwrought arrangement ideas ran out. Great instrumental abilities, pretty good sound quality, and that wonderful, fresh early seventies progressive style that I seem stuck in... Get this disc, and keep buying Wounded Bird products so they don't begin to think we're not paying attention. If I had to make a comparison, kinda like the first Lucifer's Friend recording, which has been re-released! Good hard rock, nearing heavy metal of that time, and some blues-like references, well-played by real musicians, who unfortunately didn't make the mark they should have."
