Having come up in a time when people thought vinyl was dead, a lot of people were just willing to give me there collection, or at least let me dig through, and take a couple pieces. Usually there was one or two albums that they insisted I take because they just 'knew' I was going to love it. Such is the case with this album. Now, I dig some Mott The Hoople, but I've never been able to fully get into Ian Hunter. Mostly his music comes across as a second rate Bowie. That said, I do like the open track on this album, Letter To Brittania From Union Jack. And, the song, You Nearly Did Me In, which features the fellas from Queen singing back-up, is pretty decent. This album has a serious 70's British rock vibe.
