At least one regular reader won't be pleased to see this here but it's a brilliant album in my opinion and hands down the best thing that came out in 1980. I'm a sucker for brass and this album has buckets full of it as well as a really great Northern Soul vibe. Geno is one of my very favourite songs but this album is strong from start to finish.

Northern soul dungaree sh**. What had poor old Eileen done to deserve that as well!!
How can you possibly choose this collection of songs over the NWOBHM classic Saxon - Wheels of Steel (..!)
I will now right a program to bombard your site with messages and crash it!
Joking!
Ha ha! Saxon might make my top 5 for the year if that's any comfort :-)
