Harder (Box Of Frogs) (LP 616)

Box Of Frogs Box Of Frogs (Vinyl, Epic, 1984) *** 

Genre: British pop/rock 

Places I remember: Second hand shop in Woodville

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: The Edge

Gear costume: Into The Dark 

Active compensatory factors: I only bought this for the two tracks that feature Rory Gallagher on lead guitar (featured above).

Generally, rock music of the eighties was pretty confused and an album featuring three former members of The Yardbirds with a journeyman vocalist and a slew of guitarists (including Jeff Beck) didn't overly excite me at the time.

It's okay as it goes (Rory is superb btw) but it's as confusing as you'd expect - not The Yardbirds, not Jeff Beck's jazz rock shapes, not pop, not heavy rock. 

Where do they all belong? A stand alone in my collection. They stuck around for a second album (without Rory's input) and that was that.
