This is an album demoed and scheduled for release around 1980 but it never saw the light of day until now. Only John DuCann remains from the band's classic line-up although the band's drummer Paul Hammond programmed the drum parts (which sadly detract at times due to their very tinny sound). It is a real fans release this one as frankly some of the songs on here are crap like ‘X-MASS' and the awful drums/synths on ‘C.O.D.' That said the instrumental opener ‘The Dukes Theme' is highly enjoyable and ‘The Band Played On' is a decent hard rock tune. An added bonus are the Polydor singles released between 1981-82 of which the straight ahead hard rock of ‘Rebel With A Clause' is a highlight, along with a live version of the band's most well known tune ‘Devil's Answer'.
One for avid fans and collectors, otherwise stick to the band's 70's output.
