Must have for lovers of pure pop

"Every song is a winner. Too bad this band didn't record more than 2 albums. Imperial Comet Hour is good too, albeit not the intense pleasure this one is. This is one of those cd's that is just warm, and inviting all the way through. For the used cd price available on Amazon, buy 2 and give one to a good friend.

Can't recommend this enough. Great songcraft, melodies, and charm."

82 cents?

"Well, I debated on even writing a review for a 10 year old release from a band that has come and gone without any fanfair. But, I thought this old friend deserved a better fate than to be known as an 82 cent CD.



Mexico 70 were one of those "Britpop" bands you never heard of. Mick Bund (of Felt) is a great songwriter and this is a shimmering CD, one that sounds as good today as it did back then. A gentle and warm pop collection to listen to on a long drive.



"Wonderful Lie" is a classic tune as is "Just Like We Never Came Down". "Drug is the Love" has some outstanding guitar work. "Find Somebody Else to Play Misty for You" wraps you up in its gentle charms.



Mexico 70 moved on with Imperial Comet Hour (new lineup, different sound) and then Mick's solo release. But this one is a gem, albeit one buried sadly in obscurity.
