I have just listened to this again for the first time in a couple of years. I like this album because of the variety of sounds and songs. Vocals, most arrangements and Tony Hicks' brilliant guitar wor ...

The great thing about this forum is the varied opinions from the varied fans. The Hollies could certainly rock it as many of their songs show (Russian Roulette, 48 Hour Parole, Trans-Atlantic Westboun ...

I am a big Doctor Who fan from the days of William Hartnell. The current Doctor Who is great and rates very well on ABC (public broadcaster) here in Australia. As for Torchwood it was picked up by com ...

Ray,
I don't know how the album did. I was about 16 or 17 at the time and album charts were not something I took any notice of. I was buying singles rather than albums. I did not get Romany until abo ...
