You could stick this straight on Pinky Blue and, apart from the lack of guitar, it'd fit in perfectly.

Well, they were all from the same place and existed at about the same time (although AS got a deal years before SS).

Cue: guitar.

It's true that Grogan and McDowell do have uncannily similar vocal ranges though.

Track 7 - Who Knows What Love Is?

Who Knows What Love Is?

Now...

That is deep. bounce

The production on this one is more restrained.

I get myself a glass of milk and read a colour magazine. bounce

I'm pretty sure they hated this production.

They didn't like all the jazzy horns.

This is my favourite song so far. It has a Burt Bacarach thing about it.

by Nightjar Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:21 pm

Although it works.

Trumpet.

Yes, quite Herb Alpert.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:22 pm

Now it's like Herb Alpert meets Burt Bacarach. happy

Track 8 - Go Away.

How rude. aristojar

by Nightjar Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:23 pm

I actually think this song is literal.

Rose went on a vague date with some boy and he starting acting like a weirdo-w*nker.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:24 pm

The production's definitely not right for this one. It's overwhelming the song.

by Nightjar Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:24 pm

It's another of the album's best songs.
