"Certainly the one LP from the 'golden period' that I have played least, there are some tracks on here that I simply cannot recall. Having said that, Big New Prinz, Wrong Place, Right Time and Cab It Up are great and I'm sure watching the live ballet performance would've been interesting."  Reply

"The best British reggae album, and possibly my favourite reggae album. This album has no filler, just eight heavyweight cuts. It helps that they're from just down the road too."  Reply

"In the longevity stakes of my music listening this album is in my top five. One of a few albums bought in the early 80's and still listened to regularly today. Doesn't sound dated and has numerous 5* rated tracks on my i-pod. Enjoyable, sometimes eccentric synth-pop, and better still Neil Arthur ..."  [+]  Reply

"This has to be one of the most underrated album on the 60's. I mean, it's really good. My favorite tracks include, but are not limited to: Friends of Mine When You Touch Me We're Coming To Dine"  Reply

"Guy puts out inconsistent work and i give him high marks. Guy puts out a solid, seemingly-safe collection of good songs and i react "ho-hum". Thing is, those inconsistencies were littered with dark beauty, hearts ripped from the chest and thrown out a taxi window downtown. "Easy Tiger" feels more..."  [+]  Reply

"Dylan's tribute to Frank Sinatra. It's a nice record and sort of fun, but the novelty wears off after a few listens. Bob just simply cannot hold a candle to Sinatra's versions, you're better of listening to Frank do them a million times better. Still, it's alright. I'm a fool to love you, and, th..."  [+]  Reply
