"I can't beleive after all this time this excellent album has come out on CD....crystal clear, rockin', and joyful. The young Trevor Rabin (before he joined YES) was a masterful song writer and guitarist and proves it on every track of this timeless CD. They were huge (out selling the Beatles) but America never knew this wonderful CD and group, and what a shame that is. The original lineup released only 2 albums (this one plus the excellent hard rockin' "A Croak and a Grunt in the Night"). Of course, Trevor went on to join YES and helped them record the two biggest albums of their career (90125 and Big Generator). Duncan became the lead singer for the Rollers after Les McKeown left and recorded the last and hardest rockin albums of the Rollers career (Elevator, Ricochet, and Voxx). Take a chance, buy the CD, and enjoy one of the best pop/rock albums of the 1970's."

"Surprisingly good is this odd effort from a zillion years ago. Trevor Rabin must have been a weee lad when recording this with Rabbit, so that's why it gets 3.5 stars and not the dreaded 2 stars. The songs, albeit very melodic, sound like Bread rejects, but have a bit of progressive flashes that are a sign of things to come from the incredibly talented Rabin. The album has a very cool 70s vibe and very good production values, it's a real timepiece. A crackling cover of Tull's "locomotive breath" in here and is rather nifty. Overall this effort won't make your music collection complete or or a joke, but it's a nice listen for the curious casual Rabin fans out there. Me, I'm a huge Rabin fan, so I had to get it."
