This is their sixth record from 1976. It&#8217;s another import from the U.K. I bought around 1977. I first heard the song &#8220;Sirocco&#8221; on the radio and taped it on my 8-track recorder I had at the time from the radio.The band was much into theatrics with guitar player Zal Cleminson painting his face like a mime. The songs on this record are often comical like a lot of his music almost like novelty songs. Side one has &#8220;Dance To Your Daddy&#8221;,&#8221;Sirocco&#8221; and a cover of Jerry Reed&#8217;s &#8220;Amos Moses&#8221; sung in Harvey&#8217;s distinctive Scottish accent. Side two has the single &#8220;Boston Tea Party&#8221; &#8220;The Sultans Choice&#8221; and $25 For A Massage&#8221; all pretty good songs but in Harvey&#8217;s unusual style. I always liked the gatefold cover of people sitting at a bar, including members of the band and characters from the songs, reflected in the mirror behind the bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"157\" src=\"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/images-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2158\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/images-1.jpg 320w, http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/images-1-300x147.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They are a band from Scotland led by Alex Harvey.
