POSITIVELY ROCKS

GOING BACK TO BIRMINGHAM, YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY, LOOK ME

STRAIGHT INTO THE EYES, I WANTED TO BOOGIE, LOOK INTO MY LIFE,

and IT'S GETTING HARDER are all stand outs in the great tradition

of earlier TEN YEARS AFTER releases. But the band had set the bar

so high by the time of this set that it was close to impossible

to reach on a consistent basis. The remaining four songs are not

quite up to the standards these guys had set for themselves,

which is not to say they are bad songs. If they had been recorded

by any other band of the time, they may very well have been

considered album highlights.

Yes, the band was getting tired by '74 {and tired of eachother}.

Even so, they come through hard enough on this release for it

to be considered a rock classic and an essential entry into any

serious rock collection.

POSITIVE VIBRATIONS? The title almost invokes visions of a

softer, gentler TEN YEARS AFTER, but make no mistake, this c.d.

ROCKS.

Thanks, and keep rockin' to the classics.
