"Amazing how they play sax and trumpets as it would be guitars. Listen to the final part of Now That You've Gone - it's arranged almost like Led Zeppelin. But there's trumpets instead of guitar :)"  Reply

"Dog and Butterfly along with Little Queen really built Heart's reputation as a world class hard rock band, and there are many who think it's Heart's strongest album. This album was somewhat of a concept album back when albums had two sides, as the first side (Dog) contains the harder upbeat tunes..."  [+]  Reply

"Right - to set the record straight: this is the ORIGINAL track listing of the 1973 issue. If you come across a copy with a picture of a lion on it, leave it be. The one you want either looks like the one in the picture (i.e. blackboard on a red background), or black with the legend "Upsetters 14 ..."  [+]  Reply

"To The Limit is a looser collection of songs than her 2 previous albums (Joan Armatrading & Show Some Emotion). Wishing, You Rope You Tie Me, Barefoot & Pregnant & Bottom To The Top are all brilliant but Baby I and The Letter are top notch Armatrading songs that are the cream on the top here."  Reply
