SIDE ONE
They were discovered by Bob Harris who is famously the host of "The Old Gray Whistle Test" on BBC TV and Bob, still has his own Radio show today on the BBC
They were signed to Atlantic records and produced this excellent debut album.
They are rock band augmented by a violin player and a Baroque keyboard player. This gives them a really interesting sound, coupled with an excellent vocal blend and an tenancy to write songs with unusual themes. THis makes them an interesting listen.........................
Sadly Wally are unsung heroes.................The CD copy I have is personally mastered from a vinyl copy and extensive research has found that this was only issued on CD in Japan by Atlantic . However I notice that on the HMV ( Japan site ) is is available again issued by another company
Best tracks I Just Wanna Be A Cowboy and Sunday Walking Lady :hand:

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
