Love it!

The album cover looks even better than described. The record plays great..no scratches. The only difference is the original insert had graphics and this didn't. No problem though. I already have the original. Great seller! Would certainly buy from him again.

This album was in great shape! Our son loved the cover and really enjoys Robert Palmers music. Framed it and gave it as a gift.

Feats Don't Fail Again!

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2015

This 1975 album still holds up as one of the very best ones that Robert Palmer recorded, but it doesn't seem to get the praise it deserves, sandwiched between his amazing debut solo effort, "Sneaking Sally Through the Alley" and his more popular MTV-hyped albums and singles in the 1980s.

Palmer does a superb job of covering songs by Toots & the Maytals (the title track), the Lowell George/Little Feat gem "Trouble", and Allen Toussaint's "River Boat." But perhaps the best material on here are Palmer originals such as "Give Me an Inch", "Back in My Arms", and "Fine Time." Honestly, not a dud in the bunch. This is terrific album from start to finish.

And how 'bout those talented backing musicians? Who are they? Well, that brings up my next point. The only reason I'm deducting this a star is the almost total lack of information and liner notes on this Island CD reissue. This is one of those cheap versions with no booklet or details about the recordings, so lacking in info that might as well be a CD-R. The fact that all of the members of Little Feat, including Lowell George, played on this album is not even mentioned. A shameful omission to an otherwise splendid recording. At least Amazon is selling this for a very low price.

Funky Meeters

The Funky Meeters are the back up band for this album. They also play on the "Sneaking Sally Through the Alley" album. Pressure Drop has some low points (the first track), but definitely blows you away with the funk virtuosity of the Meeters (second track). Plus, having a male siren like Robert Palmer wailing along with them...so good.

Nice, but not as good for my ears as the earlier "Sneaking Sally Through the Alley". Was hoping for some of the same type sound on Pressure Drop but the producer just didn't get what Lowell George and the musicians got out of Palmer on Sneaking Sally. Slightly disappointed, but no big whup.

Classy yet spunky mix of blue-eyed soul (ie, what they used to call R&B sung by honkies), funk, reggae and rock! Heartfelt singing, snazzy musicianship, good to great songs! Imagine if AL GREEN grew up in the UK instead of the USA...~!

Note to record compny: GIVE THIS ALBUM THE DELUXE REISSUE TREATMENT!

With Little Feat,on top form with Lowell George,as the backing musicians and the best bass player ever James Jamerson guesting on bass on some tracks.I bet Robert Palmer was on cloud nine recording this.

"Sweet Summer Sweat" featuring Little Feat als Backingband

Reviewed in Germany on February 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

Ein facettenreiches Sommeralbum. Schwer groovy, funky und Reggae-durchsetzt, dann aber Westcoast-wehend und Pop-rockig. Es treibt, es schleppt, es fließt und ist dabei höchst eigen. Kein Wunder: Southrock Virtousen Little Feat pushen als Backingband den charismatischen Gesang eines jungen Palmers (1976) durch den schwülen Sound dieser doch luftigen Produktion. Als Feat-Fan bin ich begeistert und hab gleich "Sneaking Sally Through The Alley" und "Some People Can Do What They Like" besorgt. Ersteres wartet mit The Meters als Backingband auf und - ebenso wie letzteres - wieder mit den Little Feats. Auch super groovige Alben ähnlicher Machart - jetzt bin ich Palmer Fan.

Très bon album de 1975 à redécouvrir absolument

Reviewed in France on June 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

2e album de la carrière solo de Robert Palmer et un style qui s'affirme: une belle voix, à l'aise dans tous les styles musicaux, une classe naturelle et des accompagnateurs de haut niveau. Ici il est accompagné par une bonne partie du groupe Little Feat dont à la slide, l'excellent guitariste Lowell George, oublié aujourd'hui largement mais quel talent! On est donc dans une ambiance Nouvelle Orléans, jazz-funk-reggae, un album qui sonne encore bien 45 ans après sa création , basse ronflante et jolis cuivres comme on les aime (Work to make it work, Pressure drop, Which of us is the fool, Here we you tonight avec un solo splendide de guitare de George, qui aurait pu d'ailleurs être mixé un peu plus en avant...). C'est vrai, cet album ne contient aucun des "tubes" de Palmer (à l'exception peut-être de Which of us is the fool, titre final), un artiste de grand talent qui nous a quitté bien trop tôt, une carrière assez exemplaire. Mais il mérite vraiment d'être redécouvert, le groove est permanent, c'est un vrai album sous-estimé dans sa discographie. Comme souvent chez lui, la pochette vaut le coup d'oeil (ses clips aussi puisqu'il y est toujours très bien entouré!). Par contre, ne comptez-pas sur les infos du livret pour en savoir plus: il n'y en a pas! Pas de noms des musiciens, lieux d'enregistrement, rien! Juste les crédits des chansons...Ca vaut donc une étoile en moins, c'est dommage mais la musique, elle, est formidable.
