Active compensatory factors
: Inbetweens (sometimes called The Inbetweens or even In Betweens) was a NZ band that began life in the late sixties. The lineup changes are explained well here.

They've appeared in my blog before, when I included their single Make a Wish Amanda bw While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

This album came later, in 1976, and fell on deaf ears for the most part - aside from another great single - I Just Can't Stop Loving You.

The rest of the album is good but not great mid-seventies NZ pop rock. Some of it hasn't dated too well (Mr. Funky is exhibit A). Still great to have this reissue in pristine condition from JB Hi Fi, and cheap too. A bargain at $20.

And I Just Can't Stop Loving You is timeless.

Where do they all belong? A nice slice of Kiwi rock.
