Notes: With
three lead singers and a large vocal range the dog was a radio
favorite of the seventies. Not ones to waste time writing original
material the band draws on the strengths of established writers
like Nilsson, Elton, Randy Newman, Laura Nyro and such. Pop music
without the excessive treacle that other radio fodder of the time
was coated with. And this might have been the first time my young
self heard such blatant references to a drug laced party
and the down side of participation in such activities. Made me
curious anyway. Tight rhythm section and minor leads keep the songs
moving along without bogging down in extended ego padding. The
cover art is a might bit puzzling, but the inner photos, both in
and out of costume and the poster of the three singers show a little
initiative and promotional savvy. Simpler times they were. The
picture below with the orange tint was supposed to be a front cover
photo, but after vendors deemed it inappropriate for display the
record was pulled back.
