This is their breakthrough album from 1971. With the help of producer Bob Ezrin and better songwriting this record gave them their first big hit with “I’m Eighteen”. Although I never owned the record back then I took it out from the record library our school had and listened to it many times becoming familiar with all the songs. Of course “I’m Eighteen” was a top forty hit played on the AM stations and other songs like “The Ballad Of Dwight Fry” were played on the FM station I listened to. That song made it onto one of my tapes I made with my portable Sears tape recorder. “Caught In A Dream”and “Long Way To Go” are good rockers and “Black Juju sounds like “Halo Of Flies” in some parts but is a little too long. Lydia Lunch and Rowland S. Howard did a cover of “Black Juju” on their record(I can’t remember the name of it) that had some kind of Satanic prayer in the middle of it that I found a little disturbing. “Sun Arise” is a cover that Alice Cooper did of an Australian singer from 1962. “Is It My Body” is another rocker that opens side two. “I’m Eighteen” though is the highlight of this record. Those first six notes,played on guitar,can bring me back to those days in the early 70’s. One memory I have of that song was a 20 mile walk-a-thon that I went on in 1973. Me,my friend,his sister and her friend started early in the morning. My friend had a wineskin slung around his neck filled with wine. Around noon he started drinking it offering it to me but I declined. After about an hour he got sick and we had to find a pay phone to call his dad to pick him up. I continued the walk with his sister and friend. The walk finished at Rodney Square were a band was setting up to play. The first song they played was “I’m Eighteen” and I went with the friends sister(who I had a bit of a crush on) to sit down to listen to them(her friend was also unable to complete the walk). Although only 16 the words seemed to speak to me and today it remains a song I will never tire of listening to. At some point I had this record on cassette,I don’.t remember when. The record I have now is a 2017 re-issue on white vinyl with black splatter.
