Back in my younger years, I was lucky enough to see Rainbow in full flight. But, before we could enjoy the guys kicking things off with a roaring rendition of “Spotlight Kid” we had to suffer Rose Tattoo. This was back in the days with Angry Anderson used to have to be carried off stage at the end of the set as he had expended so much energy, or drunk a bottle of vodka, whichever you chose to believe. To this day, I swear the only reason that Ritchie allowed them to be support was because it made Rainbow look even better than they were. This came to mind as soon as I put on this album, as here is another Aussie band that are looking to follow in Acca Dacca’s footsteps, and in case we didn’t get the double meaning of the title, they of course put a topless woman on the cover. Is this 2017 or forty years ago?
I am sure that their high-octane rock boogie goes down very well at home, and they certainly know what they’re doing. But to me this is both dated and out of date. Next.
