From South Africa to South Carolina, their second album for Arista was recorded in the summer of 1975. It includes the single ‘Johannesburg’ a year before the student protests in Soweto. The consequences of nuclear power stations was also a recurring theme, ‘South Carolina (Barnwell)’, was their first track on this subject. ‘Summer of 42’ has a great slightly off key driving beat and ‘Feel Together’ is another great groove ridden song. Remastered from the original tapes this CD sounds incredible.
