Heard this on the radio in the mid 80's and loved it ever since


From about 5:50 it doesn't half sound like Rush!

Shaun - this is a classic - the drumming is superb in it dont ya think - the album is a good en.

Once missed the gig in Liverpool in 197x cos I had a date and thought I'd catch them next time - they split up then....bollox big cock up.

To be honest Trig, never played your one! I've just give it a go and, er, yeah both! LOL
Just a genre i've not really gotten into ... i like the odd track now and then .... the one exception (although probably not what you'd put into this category) is Caravanserai by Santana ..... love that!
Also Uberjam by Jon Schofield is a really great album. Don't know what made me think of that as again not really in that genre.
Sorry waffling now ... must be time for tea!

Ah yes! I remember them from sixth form days. From what I remember they had 2 albums out in the late 70's with Jon Sloman taking over vocals from Kenny Driscoll on the second one.
He didn't stay long either as he joined Uriah Heep for their 10th anniversary album/tour ( Conquest) in 1980. I remember me and a mate, Clive (RIP) who was a huge Heep fan went watching them twice on that tour at Manchester and Blackburn King George's Hall where we were lucky enough to meet the band in their dressing room. I remember Jon Sloman being very quiet and didn't seem to fit in with Box, Bolder et c. He did only make that one album with them and the only thing I ever saw him do again was as a backing vocalist to somw MOR turns on the TV.
