Thanks for reminding me of that, what a great record, the sort of 70s record that is unique to that era and carries genuine emotion
Murray Head was also on the cover of the Smiths 'Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This Before' single
And to illustrate my 70s point, here's Terry Reid
(Oh, by the way, Terry turned down the lead vocalist for Led Zeppelin job and I think he suggested Robert Plant instead)

Terry Reid. Where to start? I know. My mum saw Terry at the Isle Of Wight in 1970. She was my gig partner, I had her with me at every gig from when I was about 9/10, or really, she had me. If a band she liked played Liverpool, I went with her. I saw everyone that was worth watching and a few I didn't like...only a few. A bone of contention was Terry. She never took me with her to that Festival. A jovial bone like. I was 8 at the time
In 2011 we went to Holmfirth to see him, mate, he's as good live as in the studio. We saw him again the following year at his three night stint at Ronnie Scotts. Now my mum passed away last year, this month, and it's hard, Terry played Manchester a couple of weeks ago, I couldn't go. You get the chance, take it.
Another band my mum introduced me to, Humble Pie. This version of a song I know you like is amazing. The 70's...on another note, Steve Marriott was also looked at by Jimmy Page as a front man for Zep.
