Obviously I am about the world's biggest RL fan so I have lots to say about this. First of all, thanks for posting it 'cause it's gotten quite rare and I think it's both an underrated gem and the band's finest moment bar none. I agree the production is iffy in spots but overall I think it's better that way than the almost too slick quality of the follow up "Tumbling Dice" LP, which is also a brilliant misfire of sorts. Part of the mystique of this band for me is that they were so on the cusp of doing something totally fucking cool but the usual band hassles, line up changes barred them from reaching their full fruition. As it stands, this LP came pretty damn close.
The melancholy lyrics also work well particularly well with singer Marty Clark's saddened rasp on this. If this band had been a season they would have been autumn.
I am trying to get Gaz Stoker's current combo The Dipsomaniacs to do an interrogation, as well as a new dossier on former drummer/vocalists Raish Carter's antics going...keep your peepers peeled!
Thanks for the post again, nice to have this on my computer.

nice one!! I have been looking for this for ages. Some of the metallic edge that you mention might be due to Tony Van Frater playing on this? He always had Red Alert with a more metallic touch ala the Cockney Rejects.
BTW you wouldn't have their Pride and Passion Ep would you?????? Great blog by the way. I see that you have mine..Days Of Our Youth listed. Cheers!!!
Ken
Nice blog! ;) Best wishis, and keep going.. Serbia salute you!
@ Sascha
You should have introduced this record... really.
I agree Marty Clark's voice is a real asset on this album. It perfectly fits especially with the more melancholic tunes. I certainly keep my eyes peeled!
@Kennyhel77
About Tony Van Frater you're probably right.
Sorry, I haven't got the Pride&Passion EP but if I ever get hold of a copy you'll be the first to know.
@Cherokee Sound
Thanx.
Cheers!
Jeronyme, thanks for the shout out.
Kenny-I have P&P and once I figure out how to upload it I shall. Please don't hold your breath as I am a bit of nincompoop with this blogging/internet thing.
