"Every copy I've seen says 1972 - only Wikipedia seems to have it as 1971. This is the best KA album by a distance in my view - with just the right amount experimentation and whimsy, spread across a range of hugely diverse but outstanding tracks. The title track is pure joy."  Reply

"If you're looking for Cat's sweet melodies and tenderly contemplative lyrics, look elsewhere. This one is dark, brooding, biting, and challenging.
