It's kind of funny in a way, when I first got the album (about a day or two after it was released), my favorite cut was "Roadrunner"...now the entire rest of the album I think is great and that cut stinks. I now program around it.
Christine's tunes on here are fantastic. Signs of what was to come from her. I can imagine the "Rumours" lineup doing all three of Chris' tunes in concert with the killer Stevie & Lindsey harmonies. It's really amazing that neither "Remember Me" nor "Dissatisfied" were "hits".
Welch's tunes are really cool...definitely he'd come into his own as a songwriter since "Bare Trees". "Revelation" & "Night Watch" especially. "Bright Fire" is a bit weak, but still an improvement over "The Ghost"
Dave Walker's "The Derelict" sounds alot better NOW than it did nearly 30 years ago. Not a bad contribution considering his short tenure in the band.
And, it was nice to hear Peter Green's guitar again on "Night Watch".
