When giving this album a rating you must take yourself back to the time it would have been released. Some debut album's are chock full of the band's best music from the day they formed to the day they got their break and released their debut. A good example of this is Gun's & Rose's "Appetite for Destruction", they threw their very best at us & never were quite able to live up to their debut album with sub sequential releases. Some artist give you a taste of what they can do! When you put April Wine's debut album into context circa 1970 you not only hear a band that is ready to compete with the heavy competition of that time period but is showing a progressive style that gives you hints of what's to come. The songs are all well arranged and the album plays with a certain continuity that I don't even no if the band was aware of at the time! This album is a brilliant blend of psychedelic edged rock that was very popular at the time. When you listen to this album it has a maturity that is unexpected from a group of guy's this age. The album contains songs ranging from psychedelic to Latin flavors along with some rapid fire double bass pedal kicks that are popular today some 4 decades later. Add in some scorching guitar riffs all wrapped up in a sweet melodic sound that gives this album a world wide appeal and yet keeps the songs tied together so it almost has that concept album feel. This is definitely not the album that announces April Wines signature sound but it is a great album defining the era's sound. When you play it you can easily imagine some tie dye wearing long haired teens, in a smoke filled room, with black velvet neon black light posters on the wall all saying " Wow did you hear that dude shred!!" & "Listen to that drummer he's going nut's!!" " That sounds like the Zep." " No man more like the Kinks or Floyd!" All in all this is a great addition to any Rock & Roll collection & a must have for hard core April Wine fans. Leo Hott
