After replacing drummer Wilgar Campbell (who would go on with Mick Abrahams Band and Tony McPhee's Terraplane) with Rod de´Ath and adding keyboardist Lou Martin (both earlier in Killing Floor), they weren't a power trio anymore though for that sake not less powerful. As with the two studio albums by Taste and the "Deuce" solo one I find the softer and/or more proggy tracks intriguing rather than totally gripping. But when they play the blues I'm all in and "Hand's Off", "The Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" and "Walk On Hot Coals" are good that way. Not as raw or heavy as those Taste recordings I like to go down with, but nevertheless enjoyable listening and certainly good enough for spins. Issued and reissued all over the world on vinyl and CD through the years, also 8-track and cassette. First US on Polydor (PD 5522). Japan 2007 CD in paper sleeve on BMG (BVCM 37882) came with two bonus tracks. Premiere UK had label as shown here in a thin slightly structured cover. (GÄG*)
