Indeed, this album has its fair share of triumphs. I've been intending to sample the title track for years, and the second track 'Afterglow' is a great song, too, which you *cough* neglected to post. Is there any chance you could post it up, for the benefit of readers?
This album rips, as does just about everything I've heard from them. I think it was Lazy Sunday Afternoon that was supposed to be a joke, but ended up catching on for them. Oi!
BSL,
Glad you also dig this album. And, sure, here is 'Afterglow' (and a bonus track) for any interested parties. [click on my "Homepage" link]
dstill,
You are correct; 'Lazy Sunday' was originally considered a joke, but it turned out to be one of their biggest hits. Apparently this annoyed Marriott as more people rallied around that tune instead of his more "serious" work. Kind of reminds me of how XTC had their biggest success with an old B side they had lying around called 'Dear God'.
