Can you believe this?? I've never seen it anywhere for any reasonable price at all but after some rummaging in a charity shop today there it was... and I grabbed it!

I haven't heard it at all but had to have it. So, thought? What tracks do we love on it/ I'll be listening soon (after the tennis)...

The whole album is fantastic although probably slightly dated for 2011.

I really like Evidence but in my opinion there isn't a bad track on the whole album.

Enjoy

I love the whole album!!! 'Now I Know' and 'Shot Down By Love' are probably my favorites. There are no bad songs here! I wish Lola Thomas had continued singing!!

She hasn't? What's she doing now then?

I really don't know what she is doing. In one of the Q&As here with John McVie, he said she had married and had a child. I haven't been able to find anything else that she worked on or any info that she is singing now.

Lol! I bought it when it first came out. Funny thing is, I just pulled it out and listened to it last week. It's a rare occasion for me to play it, but it's a pretty solid album.

John had a band...briefly! I wonder if he ever did any live shows with Lola.

Now look at that!! There's something else we agree on!! Besides us agreeing that I hate "Road Runner" and "The Derelict" and you don't!!

110% Ditto!!!!

I've always like this album. Her voice is just phenomenal! I honestly believe she would have made a suitable vocal replacement (dare I use that terminology?) for Christine. I think it could have worked. Just my opinion.
