This album is their best yet! Much better than "It's A Game". It's wonderful to hear that they have really matured with songwriting and musical talents. Highly recommended to BCR fans. It's unfortunate that this would be the last album with the original line up.

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed this album in my youth. It marks a change in direction for the band-less "bubble gum" sounding. The title cut is a beautiful, well written song that I can listen to over and over.

All in all good album, and Last with the original lineup. It just wasnt the same after Les left. Like 70's girl I could have done without Shoorah for Hollywood, but glad Eric and Woody both got to do a song. Worth adding to your collection/

Yeah, these songs are more muture and they sound great. really hated to see Les leave after this one.

the music brought back alot of good memories back when I was a teenager . the songs were good and I enjoyed the title song it told a story about the lead singer saying goodbye and he was singing about being on the road and telling a story about a suitcase full of dreams and leaving it was a sad song but it told a good story and I liked it alot!!!!!!! I would honestly say that this band was so underrated as they got older their music got better when they got a new lead singer and a talented musican . and once they shed their teeny bopper status they just got better with age!

I am not ashamed to say I went through two vinyls on this and got the cd version of
No, the last vinyl is not worn out, but record player went kaput a few years ago. "Shoorah Shoorah For Hollywood" is my favorite on this album. It was a different sound for them and I loved it. I know it is not everyone's cup of tea, but was a great attempt at being different. One of the tracks that is worth a listen to is "When I Say Love You". It is beautifully done. However, I will pass on "All of the World" track as it shows little drive by the artists and the record produce obviously did not care.
All in all a personal favorite, but not the best album that showed the potential this group had. This group did have potential just not the backing by record label nor management nor drive you see with today's artists.
Les McKeown came around with the Bay City Rollers, but you cannot have the group without Alan, Woody, Eric, and my favorite, Derek. If it had at least one more member I would have went to the Winstar Casino to see the show.

The original BCR back together for this album...I could skip Shoorah, Shoorah, but other than that song this album is a 10. Also, this is the only place you'll find The Pie (When I Say I Love You), the most beautiful slow song that they ever did...love it!

This was not one of my favorites by them. Found some of the songs a little bit hokey. Maybe a bit to mellow sounding-not really their style.
