PLEASE MIND YOUR HEAD

I'm not a proghead like the previous reviewer, but I have been a fan of String Driven Thing since the early seventies and have all of their vinyl. I rate any given album based on the amount of time it sat on my tuntable being listened to. Of all the group's album's, this was by far my favorite. Kim Beacon's vocals combined with Graham Smith's violin and some catchy tunes made this a step up from the previous offerings featuring the Adamses. Don't get me wrong, I thought parts of the previous album's were quite good--especially the songs carried by Smith's violin work--but I prefer the sound of the revised lineup. The Stevie Wonder cover that closes out the album is one of my all time favorites. For anyone interested, this album (along with "Keep yer 'and on it") is finally being released in the U.S. on CD in March 2010. I've been wanting to replace my scratchy vinyl for a long time.
