I so agree, John....."goose bumps" and 3Wc", his second and third solo
albums are two faves of this era and still shocked these have not come out
on CD after all these years since they had some minor radio hits on each of
them.
Odd, AMG gives 3WC three stars but really raves hard on it, certainly to the
four star level type of praise. Still one of the stronger major label
power pop releases of the late 70's, imho.
Has anyone made any CD-r's of these albums for themselves off their
vinyl---my vinyl on both of them is SOOOO spent? If so, please get in touch
w/ me! ;-D
