Genre: Prog rock
Places I remember: Marbecks Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Wheel Of Fortune
Gear costume: On The Way Home
Active compensatory factors: A lot of links to Yes with this one: Fresh from a stint in Yes, Tony Kaye features in Badger on keyboards, Jon Anderson produces, Brian Lane manages both bands, and Roger Dean supplies the amazing cover.

Plus this is a live recording, done while supporting Yes.
The music is great and right up my alley with terrific noodling as they stretch out via some blues rock/prog rock lines.
Kaye stars, but the whole band is on awesome form. Apart from the inter song applause I would swear that this was a studio album. The songs are well crafted and expertly played.
Where do they all belong? A bit of a one off. The Badger line up changed after this debut and moved away from prog rock, so this album is even more of a stand out.
