        A stone cold classic and agreed this pressing appears to be a good one.

          This is an underrated gem of an album that is just as good as Mott and certainly better than all the young dudes. This album is simply a more daring unique extension of Mott and this pressing is the one you want.

            While one might expect Mick Ralph's contributions to be missed quite a lot (after he split for Bad Company), Ariel Bender (Spooky Tooth) seems to have little trouble filling the position (at least for now)...pretty consistent set, noteworthy at the very least, classic in some reviewers' opinions, likely the last essential offering for fans.
