"long forgotten masterpiece from the legendary deram label, any lover of classic progressive rock with a taste for skilled playing and balanced arrangements (the trademark of the deram-decca label) shouldn't miss this."
LEAVES A NICE TASTE

"Ritchie McCracken and John Wilson quickly regrouped after TASTE split and Rory Gallagher tread the 'solo' path. Jim Cregan teamed up with the guys and they were eventually joined by part-time member John Weider.
The result of this mix is an eclectic and highly enjoyable debut album which skirts around Prog, Jazz Fusion and Pop/Rock. 1112235 is a track which borders on Avant-Guarde and is the longest track on the album. It takes the listener aback at first but showcases some great individual playing and was apparently the result of a jam session. If that is so then it leaves other jam sessions by more illustrious artists in the shade.
'Turn Over the Pages' is simply a beautiful song along with the opening track 'Sail On'. Another longish track is 'Harpo's Head' and compliments 1112235.
Worthwhile and historic, especially for fans of TASTE who may have pondered whatever happened to McCracken and Wilson."
