What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Not sure but I think this is the only album I own by these UK rockers whose heyday was mid 60's-mid 70's. Never much success in the states with this tenth album reaching #163. One of only two group albums to chart here. Bowie must have been a fan as he covered two of their songs on his Pin Ups lp. Guitarist Dick Taylor played with Jagger and Richards in an early version of the Stones before their fame. Numerous line up changes in those early years. This is the last album featuring original vocalist Phil May. The band took a 4 year recording break at this point. May has since rejoined and the band is still touring with a release as recent as 2007. Gotta be a sad looking group at this point I would think. This album comes in as a mid-range like for me with nothing great and only the last track of the instrumental Theme For Michelle failing. Not representative of the album, the soft Sad
Eye works best for me.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Theme For Michelle

Best Track - Sad Eye

Well if you ever baby,
Feel like changing your mind,
Don't think twice just take it easy,
Anything you do will please me.
Just as long as you see me.

And if you ever baby,
Feel like starting again,
All you gotta do is phone me,
There is nothing you need show me.
Just as long as you know me.

Well I knocked on every door,
Looked on every sea and shore.
Just to find that you had left me.

You were a special one,
Like the setting of the sun,
Now it's too late to help me.
