REVIEW:
By Yours Truly
It's been awhile since I put up the first Ross album and I've been meaning to put this one up for awhile now. So at last here it is in somewhat used condition. I apologise for the snap, crackle and pop that is audible in places but it got played back in the day.

I never really been "big" on concept albums but this one is done so well musically that I let the concept thing slide I spent awhile searching the net for info again but there's next to nothing out there although I did find a yahoo on Ebay with a copy of the first Ross album that he'd be happy to sell to you for the small sum of $250.00!! Just say No kids! I also found the other two Alan Ross Band albums that I don't have in the U.K. but again the prices are more than I can afford to pay these days.

At any rate this is an enjoyable album. If you downloaded and enjoyed the first one I'd be willing to bet that you'd dig this one too and when I break down and buy that new Ion turntable with the noise suppression software I'll redo this one and send snap, crackle and pop packin'.
