Advantages: Dan the man, This Flight Tonight
Disadvantages: Manny's tache

...I remember the first time I clapped eyes on Dan McCafferty and Nazareth as if it were yesterday, but actually it was almost thirty years ago. It was on Top of the Pops and the Nazz were performing their debut single (it was, wasn't it?) Bad Bad Boy.

In it's own way this CD is a classic of it's day. Strange how in my case it's now a sing and clean along CD for someone who is a grannies age. How times change. In this respect it's the equivalent of when my Mum used to sing and clean along to the likes... Read review
