Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of this 1974 album from the British Pub Rock band including a bonus disc containing BBC sessions. The massive hit single 'How Long?' (a song about one of the members leaving for another group) was taken from this album, and was a significant chart success, achieving a Top 20 place in the UK Singles Chart, and reaching #3 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eclectic Influences Make Great Rock 'N' Roll, October 15, 2007
By 
Kevin Kartchner (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Five a Side (Audio CD)
I was dismayed to find that this album has never been released on CD in the U.S., that "How Long" is the only track from it that's available on iTunes (etc.), and that the one "Best of" Ace compilation CD released domestically by a specialty label is long out of print and going for ridiculous prices in online auctions. However, once I faced the fact that I was going to have to order an import or else take my chances trying to convert from vinyl to .mp3 using a USB turntable, the price of this title didn't seem too outrageous. The album originally came out when I was 15; I bought it on vinyl and loved almost all of the cuts on it. I find now that it has a nice, laid-back ensemble sound, displaying a wide variety of influences ranging from Steve Winwood to Steve Wonder, to which every band member contributes significantly. What a refreshing contrast with some of the more-notable late-70s excesses, such as Van Halen with its one frenetic, over-the-top guitar and little else to speak of. I put Paul Carrack in the same class with Steve Winwood in terms of singing and keyboard-playing, and he was never better than on this album.

I just downloaded this album from iTunes. Ten bucks.
After all these years it holds up pretty well.
