Personally I love this album. The title song is definately my favourite and the reason I purchased this album in the first place... but I have grown to enjoy the whole album. I think the arrangements are brilliant and the songs great. "Turn me loose" has an Elvis quality to it, and his cover of Paul Simon's "For Emily, Whenever I may find her" is well done. It may not comprise his best works, but seeing as at the present time I don't have any of his later albums, I really can not compare. But this album is very good, and worth the price even if you only want it for the title song. Plus this album is digitally remastered too.

David Essex's debut album hasn't aged well: "Rock On" is still a moody, unsettling gem of a song, but other tracks here are unfocused. His best albums were still a few years off at this point.

In My eyes (and ears) he can do no wrong, I have followed his films and songs since school days in England, sat thru night after night of Evita in my teens. Recently on a trip back to the UK even watched his Christmas pantomine with my own daughter but Rock On is still the classic, lamplight and the best of, are also very good but if you are a fan, this album (sorry CD) Rock ON and that front cover are worth adding to the collection....Rock on David.
P.S. The movie is still a good buy too !
