I loved the album, also but those other songs and albums didn't go very well here. Obviously it was different in the USA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it was different in the USA. They picked a lot of potential radio hits here and they sold, since it’s all about the $$$$ in the US market. YOTC and Time Passages are excellent albums, even without the hits. Many AOR stations here played deep cuts from them as well which boosted sales even more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved this track back in 71 but listening to it again, the guy's a bloody dole bludger who initially turns down a job then goes around pointing the finger at everyone eise that works. Even the bloody priest that doesnt get a hand out from the church and has to send a plate around to survive!! Still a great track though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
