The US release of this album, Desolation Boulevard, is an fantastic record.
As much as I like this song, it's about the sixth best song on the album.
No You Don't, Set Me Free, Solid Gold Brass, Sweet F.A., The Six-Teens, I Want To Be Committed...
I think it's one of the 5 best hard rock albums of the 70s & 80s.
You Can tell in this clip that the boys definitely did NOT like lipsynching. Andy Scott isn't even pretending to do what he did on the album, & Brian is sleepwalking through it. They wanted to play their songs live and when they couldn't they were not happy campers.
