Good, chunky Stones pastiche.

Boys, it's the album, you can say most of these men took drugs.

No one will judge you.

This is much better than the previous songs.

Not heard that one. I prefer the Andy Weathall sell out stuff the early G-men and a Squirrel underground stuff.

By that point the band had split into two drug-dealing cartels based around Sly Stone and Larry Graham.

It was, to say the least, an uneasy standoff.

Both 'mobs' numbered together 50 men, most were present when the album was recorded.

Everyone in the studio was armed with semi-automatic weapons and everyone was doing princely quantities of cocaine.

Track 6 - A Big Day in the North.

by Guest Fri Aug 28, 2020 8:53 pm

Is this album going to run out of steam, front loaded by the singles? scared

by Guest Fri Aug 28, 2020 8:53 pm

Is this Swing out Sister?

This riff is a direct lift from something else.

Not Swing Out Sister.
