Classic poet stuff from Philip. I purchased the UK version in 1980 in London on a school trip. Already a huge Lizzy fan, I was impressed by the change in style. Definitely soft like much of Southbound but current in a special way with King’s Call about Elvis’ death with Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits on guitar and Talk In ‘79 about the punk scene of which Philip embraced and mentored. And of course the original release of Yellow Pearl which as we know became the theme song of Top of the Pops.
