★★★★♥︎

Wrote a nice review then clicked like and it deleted my whole review. Nice app. Favourite tracks: Too may people 3 legs Eat at home Long haired lady Hey diddle Section between the start and middle have thin feeing mix which really detract from how fun a track like uncle Albert is. Would have been nicer for the remaster to have made it sound more full like hey diddle. Not always possible. 70s era rock like this always feels more folky to me. There are a few songs that feel misplaced in this track list. Overall an easy listen very soothing with incredible rhythm. 4/5
