[edit] Album profile

For this album Gallagher decided to embellish his sound by adding keyboards into the band line-up. His new drum player Rod deAth (who had replaced the late Wilgar Campbell, Gallagher's former drummer) recommended Lou Martin to play the keyboards. The new line-up clicked and remained together for some five years.

The band in this line-up played live on the BBC 2 TV programme Old Grey Whistle Test featuring tracks including Hands Off, Seventh Son and Race The Breeze.
