Top-notch 70's power pop!

"Let's face it, the main reason to buy this CD set is the song, "Such A Woman." I have looked for this title on CD since CD's came out, and only recently was finally able to find it. "Such A Woman" is clean, tight, power pop/rock at its finest. The recording is high quality and the mastering is flawless. The clip available on amazon.com is not indicative of the power of the song, however. It is a romantic, desperate, cry for a good woman. If you like Toto's "Hold The Line," this song is in a similar vein in terms of guitars and harmonies. The rest of the music on the 2 (!) CD's, while very good, do not match the emotional impact of "Such A Woman." Highly recommended."

Disappointing

"I bought this CD because I know one of the guys in the band. People in an internet discussion group I belong to described it as a kind of poor man's Foreigner or Palbo Cruise (as if the poor man didn't already have Foreigner and Pablo Cruise!). The playing and singing is perfectly fine, but most of the songs just zipped past me without leaving any impression at all.The reason I'm posting this review, however, is to point out the fact that the single disc I received from the Marketplace listing did not include all the songs from the original two disc set. I can't say I was crushed emotionally by this, but let the buyer beware."
