Customer Reviews

Roy's back with some great tunes.
This album has been available as a Japanese import for a couple of years and it's great to see it out in the UK. From the opening bars of the rocking Red Cars it's Roy back on form again. Raining in the city is a typically tunefull ballard. The title track is a tight rockin' number reminding me of Helicopters. But the track I like best is the Louis Clark arranged on top of the world with the R.P.O. Good work Roy!

major disappointment from producer-genius
Two stars is generous, due to emotional weakness on my part.

From 1967 to 1975 Wood was the key contributor to ten long-playing records ranging from very good to completely brilliant; plus about 15 singles (not on the albums) ranging from entertaining to sublime. He was a master of a range of production styles. But something went wrong in the studio. First the brilliant live jazz and pop of the Wizzo Band turned into the astonishingly clunkily produced 'Super Wizzo' LP, where every song sounded worse than it had live.

Then this--the charm has gone, any melodies are lost, production is dim, clunky, disengaged. Sonic decisions don't connect, mixes are poor, the record is strained. This was the best producer in town, and a British song-writing genius.

Wood was under 30 when the great work suddenly ceased. The blankness of the last thirty years is one of the saddest mysteries of British pop. Though Lord knows there was enough great work before that to last forever.
