PAMPERED MENIAL

I first heard this album in the mid 70s; it blew me away. Forget Geddy Lee - David Surkamp is simply in a different league. From the beautiful and romantic, "Julia", to the the energetic "Fast Gun: the truly awesome vocal gymnastics of Surkamp on "late November; then to the very moving and spine chilling renditions of Theme From Subway Sue and Episode; culminating in the richly textured magnificence of "Of once and future Kings", this debut album (one of the best ever) from a band who, if there was justice in this world, should be placed right up there with the very best of them. St. Louis should be very proud of them. One of America's finest ever bands.
