Memories....
Wow, what memories listening to this after so many years! The music is refreshing. I highly recommend this cd. The songs are really rockin' except for a couple. "Lovely to See You" is almost like a Monkees remake. And an interesting attempt at the disco scene with "Don't Stop the Music". Overall, good music, good lyrics, good memories!
BONUS ARE GREAT

The best of the bunch
This album, like all of the Rollers' albums, is conflicted. It bounces schizophrenically from High-caliber power pop like the title track, as well as "Too Young To Rock And Roll", "I Only Wanna Dance With You", and the previously released "Saturday Night"... to a horrible experiment in Disco ("Don't Stop The Music"), to twee Beatle-esque wanna-bes ("Give A Little Love", "Here Comes That Feeling Again", "Lovely To See You"), to overall schlocky, limp bubblegum ("Shanghai'd In Love", "Maybe I'm A Fool To Love You", "Love Is"). There's even a classic 70's cannabis-drenched acoustic rocker ("Eagles Fly"), and a bizarre overdubbed drum solo experiment ("Derek's End Piece").
Of the three bonus tracks on this release, two ("Wouldn't You Like It - 1972 version", which incidentally is a COMPLETELY different song from the '75 version, and "I'd Do It Again") are total throwaway garbage and completely unnecessary unless you're a diehard BCR fanatic. However, the other bonus track, "She'll Be Crying Over You", was the B-side of the "Give A Little Love" single, and is one of those rare moments when the Rollers hit the right spot with one of their ballads. There is plenty of minor-to-major chord interplay and the vocal harmonies are some of the best I've ever heard from these guys. This is a truly GOOD song. Too bad this wasn't the A-side!
The Rollers' third album is without a doubt their most eclectic, and therefore their most interesting. Like the liner notes accurately state, it's a real grab-bag of 70's sounds. This may have had something to do with the fact that all but one song here is a Faulkner/Wood composition. It seems that with new-found freedom, the wild dogs ran amok in the songwriting streets so to speak. The result is what I would go so far as to say their best album... and definitely their most interesting. Recommended.
