I've been listening to this since it came out in 1978. "Just to Get into it", "May the Sun Shine" and "Whatever You Want Babe" are classic Nazareth. The 8 original tracks are all solid, not a bad one in the bunch. "Claim To Fame" "Whatever You Want Babe" and "What's In It For Me" appear sequentially on the album and seem to all be about the same relationship, viewed from 3 different times, or perspectives. The 5 bonus track edits don't really add anything. A must have for Nazareth fans. If your looking to buy a Nazareth CD, I'd reccommend this as the one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nazareth - 'No Mean City' (Eagle) 3 1/2 stars, January 16, 2007

This review is from: No Mean City (Audio CD)

Originally released in 1978, this was the Scottish rocker's follow-up to their notorious in-your-face 'Show No Mercy'. For this album, Nazareth pulled in an additional member, guitarist Zal Cleminson (of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band). Tracks on this effort may not be AS recognizable as some of their other material, but 'No Mean City' is still good nonetheless. Tunes that, I personally liked the most were their somewhat Zeppelin-like "May The Sunshine", "Star", "Claim To Fame" and the title cut "No Mean City,Parts 1-2". Basically,decent old school '70's hard rock.
