Rip Tony, Steve, this song awesome!! I’m always playing it in my car, I gotta get this album soon.
Tim Colder
Bought this on 7inch vinyl back in 1985, then the album. I had never heard them before until they played their stuff at the local rock night. Vastly underated and Tony Mills a great singer.
Tobias Arnicke
