What Are You Listening To?

from my library (vinyl)



The groups seventh album after their biggest yet with Jailbreak. Not as good as that one for me. Midway through the
Jailbreak tour, Phil Lynot had come down with hepatitis and he had to be hospitalized, missing out on a gig opening
for Rainbow. Phil wrote most of this album while recovering. Some studio clashes between Phil and guitarist Brian
Robertson led to Brian's departure from the band after the tour for this release. He felt he should have received
co-writing credit for the #12 UK single Don't Believe A Word and didn't get it. Robertson did get that credit for
Borderline, the only track I love on here. One failing track with Boogie Woogie Dance. Is it the word alone that
makes me not like it? Phil Collins was brought in for ome percussion duties on this album. Not sure what that was
about. The album only reached #52 in the US and a respectable #11 in the UK, where they were always more popular.
