5.0 out of 5 stars every track is pure ARA, great to hear some new material, September 23, 1999

By A Customer

Having been an Aces fan for many years I was really rapt to actually be able to get hold of some new material on CD. Up until recently it has been impossible to get hold of any of their albums in Australia. Out of the Blue is a great album, I would rate it alongside Too Stuffed to Jump and Burning the Ballroom. Blue Room stands out for me as the best track, I was fortunate enough to hear the live version when the Aces toured a couple of years back. Keep going guys and what about re-releasing some of the old albums on CD? My vinyl versions have just about been played to death. (Peter Boyle )

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Rythm Aces - 4 ever, December 19, 1999

By A Customer

Great stuff guys - keep up the great work. It's been a long time between drinks here in Oz just waitin' for some new sounds from you - was worth the wait though. OH - by the way, how about releasing Too Stuffed To Jump and Car Over The Lake albums on CD - PPPPLLLLLEEEEEAAAASSSEEE - my LP's and tapes have been dead for a llooonnnnnngg time now - just plain worn out, and I do just miss that ORIGINALITY.

5.0 out of 5 stars it's about time!, August 12, 2002

By	Bill Taylor (Romney,WV) - See all my reviews

Since the demise of this group in 1980 I would browse record shops in the US and in Europe weekly,and I always checked to see if there was ANYTHING on the Aces breakin'. To my delight I was caught by surprise when in 1998 I walked into a record shop and "Out of the Blue" there was a new release by a group who had provided the soundtrack for many moments in my life!All I can say is that this group has matured well,Russell Smith still is a first rate,kick-... songsmith,just listen to the title track as well as the touching lyrics that tell of the relationship between a young man,just out of his teens,and a woman stuck in an abusive relationship,great writing. The gutsey guitar and blusey piano and vocals on "The Blue Room" take you right to it. Russell still knows how to turn a vocal phrase. This group has only gotten better with age,just like a fine wine. Thanks guys!
