What have you been missing Jim?
Just one of the most eclectic and lyricly creative (& sometimes confusing) artist of the late '70s.
Besides the brilliant,"Year Of the Cat" LP & hit song,Al's recording career spans back to 1967 with his first UK LP,"Bedsitter Images" which I can't find here at all. I do however have his 2nd LP,"Love Chronicles" featuring the guitar work of Jimmy Page. Excellent!
After that are the LP's,"Zero She Flies" (also UK). U.S. LPs like the very hard to find "Orange"
and then the ones I have like "Past,Present & Future","Y.O.T.C",even better than "Cat" his best one,"Time Passages" with the hit of the same name and "Song On The Radio". In 1980 came,"24 Carrots" (get it? :D ) which gave him the hit,"Midnight Rocks". Yep,only 4 hits.
After that the hits stopped but the LP's continued. The others are:
Russians & Americans (nice commentary on cold war mentality.)1984
Last Days Of The Century 1988
(Live)Rhyme In Room 1992
Famous Last Words 1993
Between The Wars 1995 (How prophetic a title!)
A CD from 1996,"Seemed like A Good Idea At The Time".
and in 2000 Down In the Cellar and this year a new CD,"Beach Full Of Stars".
There ya B! Jim. Hope that was helpful,of the handful of LP's I have,i can say the tracks as well as the hits are worth it. Later!
