3/5.03/5.03/5.03/5.03/5.0
Attention grabbing but badly dated hard rock
Review written by John Fitzgerald, June 15th, 2005

It has been reported in recent years that Peter Green plays guitar uncredited on two songs from this album (the slow blues with harp (and possibly some wah wah guitar slabs by Peter) track "There'll be changes" and "A new way" which is nearly 8 minutes long, the first half being pleasant quiet patting and what sounds of Green's softer moments from his own "The end of the game" while the second half of the track leaps in to harsh hard rock which has possible Peter loud wah wah guitar licks) though the notes of the "Toe Fat/Toe Fat 2" CD edition of the album only lists Green as appearing on "There'll be changes". At least it is a step up from the vinyl editions which list no PG mentions. Whatever the case, this album for the most part is hard rocking and though while attention grabbing, it's badly dated showing the weaker excesses of this genere at that point in time. The opening "Stick heat" starts as a ukulele strummer but then turns in to a heavy rock dirge with screeching guitars and vocals. "Indian summer" is a quiet waltzing 2 minute piece, "Idol" is a pounding rock stomp, "Since you've been gone" is a lean punchy rocker, "Three time loser", is another tough stomp and "Midnight sun" is a shuffling riffer. You may find this album interesting listening in the sense that it sounds as if many tracks here have that same kind of wah wah guitaring that Green is apparently playing on the first two tracks I had discussed above so the legend remains that he may be on even more tracks here but who knows if well ever find out for sure on any of this one way or the other though?

John Glascock is mistakenly billed as "John Konas".
