Follow-up to their excellent "First Base" debute (see earlier
post). While that had about the same hard rock prog trope all
through making it evenly good listening, this comes more
experimental and straggling. A blend of r&b, baroque, psych
and prog, very well played indeed and crowned by Janita Haan's personal
vocals. It may take time to get all in, but when you do it can be worth
while. This time the songs themselves don't hit me that hard, then
more the arrangements and details. Like the strings and flute
counterpointing in "Lady", the cool guitar in "Baby Pride" or the odd
vocals in the psych funk "Doctor Love". So even if I don't get many of
those downright catchy moments I usually need to embrace an album,
there's so much interesting stuff going on in and around it's still good
listening. Seventies vinyl issues also in US and Canada (Harvest
ST-11275), Australia (World Record Club R-02606), Japan (Odeon
EOP-81029) and South Africa (Harvest SHVLJ (D) 812). Premiere UK had
label as shown here in a matt fold/out cover. (FÄV*) (HÄVL*)
