I found some old notes from 2004 that stated (slightly edited):A soundtrack, but hardly sounds like one. Other than a couple of ballad missteps, this has some of the hottest licks Osanna ever committed to tape. And with this band, that's saying something! Closest to Palepoli in sound and structure.

Yep - that's about right. As with all the classic Osanna albums, they have a tendency to shift gears too fast before letting a good section marinate for awhile. It's also a bit harsh in sound, considering the guitar tone and sax squeal. There's a bit of romantic whiny singer songwriter in here as well, that detracts a bit. Overall, it remains a solid 4 star effort.
Ownership: LP: 1974 Fonit. Textured gatefold. Acquired online (2000). My first copy was the Peters International press found at a record store in New Orleans (1988).
