Notes:  Another keeper from the gang at X. Billy Zoom was still playing strong and the vocal harmonies were in tip top shape. There's a great cover of the Small Faces tune "All or Nothing" to sweeten the pot too. No great surprises, but nothing to be disappointed with either. The cover layout/photography harkens back to a bygone era as does some of the music within these grooves. A great record for fans and first timers as well.
