This review will be in two parts so as to be fair to the band of whom
I have some affection.
First of all, from a technical standpoint this is a completely rubbish CD. There are clunks and pops along the way,
differing volumes between tracks and a loud click going from track to
track. If you really want to listen to this stuff you want to get the
CD and slap it on your iPod, playing it on a CD player is not
pleasant.
The music on the other hand is ever so slightly better
than the production. This is a re-release of this CD, originally
released in 1984, the tracks on here are very dated indeed. It does
not help matters that a cheesy 80s drum machine is used on most of
the tracks.
There are a few highlights such as 'Fugitive' and the
title track but overall this is more an exercise in nostalgia than
quality music. Even the three bonus tracks don't make this release
worth purchasing.
There is far better Legs Diamond material out
there, like their album 'Wish' or 'Town Bad Girl'. It is possible
that I might appreciate the music more if the production quality was
not horrid, but that is open to debate.
