Although not the best early ‘Snakes album it was certainly a nod in the right direction. Incidentally, the album closer We Wish You Well (DC at his best) was always used as the bands sign off at live shows. This record signalled the end for drummer David “Duck” Dowle's position within the band as he was fired in the July of '79 shortly before it's release. He was suitably replaced by a certain Mr. Paice although the drumming you hear on the CD is Dowle's (it wasn't thought feasible to re-record over his drum parts).
