Smiling (Baker Gurvitz Army) (LP 622)

Baker Gurvitz Army  Hearts On Fire (Vinyl, ATCO Records, 1976) *** 

Genre: I have this filed in the prog rock section, although by this stage they were much more pop/rock in their approach.

Places I remember: Real Groovy Records. It's taken a while to get this as Real Groovy have previously listed this album but then sent me the group's first album by mistake. Eventually they listed this album correctly and sent me the right BGA album - hurrah!)

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles/ Gear costume: Hearts On Fire (probably Ginger's finest song and made better by the fact that he doesn't feel obliged to sing on it). 

Active compensatory factors: This is the third and last of the group's studio albums. Snips remains enlisted on vocals which probably makes this the best of the three as Ginger concentrates on drumming, rather than 'singing'.

Where do they all belong? A live album (Live in Derby '75) remains for me to collect.
