Interesting. Neither Tina nor I had ever heard of this band. Very much of a time and place but Gerry McGhee certainly had a voice!

You can’t hear it musically, but I wonder if there was any Queen influence, or at least inspiration. Queen had songs titled “Brighton Rock” and “(Sheer) Heart Attack.”

It’s been speculated, and I found a Graham Greene reference in my research, too.

I should have explained. The gas masks were because the album title was’Take a Deep Breath. ‘

I picked up what you were laying down! The cover was memorable.

The guys still occasionally play together but without Gerry McGhee, it’s not the same. I was working with the label. Monika was delightful and remains a friend today. Thank you for this! By the way, we serviced it to rock radio with gas masks.

Aww, thanks Kevin! I love to hear your stories from the projects you worked on. Cool idea to lean into the cover art with the gas masks.

It’s a long way from Q107 Homegrown to a gold record, and takes a lot of support!
