Follow-up to the marvellous Bandstand album (see earlier post) and sadly also their last before final break-up. Counting many other group's last efforts one could expect something dutiful recorded as a mere contract filler, or in worst case a compilation of earlier unissued material, but this sounds surprisingly fresh with lots of goodies attached. Title track having that unique blend of very adventurous and appealing so typical for the band...in the midst of all melodic and rhythmic gaming you also get catchy parts to hold on to, making you wanna return for more. "Boom Bang" both cool and persuasive with its gospel feel. "Sweet Desiree" playful in a Caribean style. And there's more once you get in. To my taste maybe not up there with "Doll's House" or "Bandstand" , but certainly good enough to spin and enjoy. Issued and reissued all over the world on vinyl and CD, also 8-track and cassette. First US and Canadian on United Artists (UA-LA 181-F). UK 1997 CD on Castle Communications (ESM CD 566) came with two non-LP 45 flip sides as bonus. Premiere UK had label as shown here in a matt cover with gun pic/lyric/credit inner and "banger" insert. (FÄXI*)
