This 1992 release really is a monster of an album. It huffs and heaves with rock'n'roll riffs yet there are quieter moments with the melancholic Herzilein & Thru the Wire. But tracks like I'm Gonna Roll and Sally is Something Else are what kick this albm into life.

Worldwide, the band have never sold as many records as their fame would suggest they do. Never have done but hopefully they will.

If people with but a passing interest in the band actually bought a CD, a download, whatever, then I'm sure more projects would follow. As it is, as of 2015, we are down to maybe an album release every 5 years which really isn't enough. It just feels like a group petering out. That is wrong as at the end of the day their music deserves to be heard by as many people as possible as it just can't be made or replicated by anyone else.

Frank Uhle (SPV General Manager who released their last album, Buena Vodka) commented when signing the band to his label: "It's a pleasure and honour to have these true rock'n'roll legends teaming up with SPV. I'm fully convinced, together we will bring the guys back on the map again and up to the high rating in the Rock Circus, they deserve."

That says it all. A band who gets millions of hits on YouTube should really be selling more records as it is that good.

We can all do our bit by investing a little bit in this awesome group.
