What Are You Listening To?

[SteveO]

His debut album was very good ! Forgot all about him, thanks for the memories MH !

from my library (vinyl)



Howard's second album, after his debut went #1 in England. This one fared almot as well, going to #2 there, and the
only one to crack the top 10 here in the states. Five singles released from here so something had to click. They all
did over there, but only Things Can Only Get Better and No One Is To Blame here. The latter is my only love track,
but there were four that did nothing for me, probably the synthesizer, which I can only take in small doses. Thought
the album would come out better going in, but it does get a like, with not much room to spare. Different track
listing between the UK and US releases, with Specialty and Why Look For The Key replaced by Like To Get To Know You
Well and Bounce Right Back on my copy. The cd release has all of those.
