What happened to these guys?

"I actually haven't heard this cd, but back in the late 80's, I bought all three tapes this British band released. Their second and third records, "Live Free or Die" and "Days of Madness" are both excellent. Their music is mostly goth, with a touch of throwback 70's-style anthem rock. Depending on what this cd contains, I'd say it's at least a 4-star record. I'm sure "I Love the Things You Do to Me", "I'll Show You Something Special", "Long Time Loving You", "Body and Soul", and "Days of Madness" are all present, and if so, it's a no-miss purchase for sure. I plan to order it as soon as I post this review. This band consisted of three brothers: Jim, Joe, and (I believe) Del Morris. I've often wondered what ever happened to them, and now I'm full of hope that the release of this cd is an indication that they've reunited and are making a new record. For those of you who think you've never heard their music, "I'll Show You Something Special" is the song blaring out of the sleazy, pimped-out taxi cab in the Steve Martin/John Candy movie "Planes, Trains and Automobiles.""
