Reviews

  • GOODGROOVECIRCLE's avatar
    This original CD sounds incredible and far better than any of the remasters.

      This is such a strong album, musically. Due to their enormous success in the 80s, it is easy to overlook the fact that this was one of the best groups of musicians working at the time - especially in the chart world. Physical presence is sublime, something about you a classic hit, leaving me now is moving and powerful and lying still is simply stunning. Check it out!
