For those of you who dig stuff like Saigon Kick, The Front, Kik Tracee et al, then Blackboard Jungle would have been right up your street. Trouble is, this album was so hard to find...as it is today and so they never made any sort of impact on the music scene; in fact they were too cool for school and remain a cult act responsible for some of the grooviest numbers that came before the grunge wave. The title track itself is a semi-psychedelic sway of rousing vocals and varying musical injections to create an almost flowery, funky trip but it was always going to end in tragedy in spite of the glories of 'Chicago', 'Everybody Talk About It', and 'Forever You & I'. Brilliant throughout I can only hang my head in shame at those who failed to recognise such talents.
8.5/10
