ROD STEWART "camouflage" cassette/cd 1984
from the albums box set,
his thirteenth...
purchased on cassette back in the day to listen to when i rollerskated while using my walkman (damn, just realised im getting old!)...
never really cared for the album but it was good uptempo stuff to skate to...
Rod's vocals on these songs are pretty good but its full of synths and horrid '80s production...
eight track on here, three of which are covers and only one ballad which it the final track...
the covers are Free's "all right now", Persuaders' "some guys have all the luck" and Todd Rundgren's "can we still be friends", all of which are decent enough versions which suit his vocals IMO...
overall it fares better than i remember it and does manage to scrape through....

favourite is the only ballad on the album:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
