Looking for the album it takes one to know one.I-Tunes is supposed to be searching for it. Had a cassette way back in the stone ages (78 or79) . I thought it was lost forever and then came the P.C. and the Internet. It lives! any help for this ancient ROCKER would be cool. I caught there act in 76? in a bar in Iowa and have been enjoying the bang in the head they give every-time.
IN the final months of Swan Song's existance, it's said Jimmy Page came by the office while Detective was recording and said in passing : "don't you think they sound like us??" - can anyone argue with Page's ear? Sure the music sounds good, but too close to Zeppelin to be very original. But if that's your preference, so be it.
Had this album on 8 track. "Competition" and "Fever" were favorites. A co-worker let me borrow it, and I wound up wearing it out in my car. C.H., if you're out there, thank you. I would gladly pay you back if I could find it on CD. Great memories.
Rumor has it that Robert Plant walked into the studio and was taken aback how much the drummer looked liked him ! The singer Michael Des Barres was in the movie "to sir with love " with Sidney Poitier and was a DJ in the second run of WKRP in Cincinnati on TV.
I've got both albums but I don't have a turntable that works. This is nice. I really miss this. Detective is one of my favorite bands from back in the day. I wished I had it on CD. Thanks for putting it on youtube.
Humble Pie, that's it. I thought both a same lead singer. Rockin band.

He was also in an episode of WKRP as I'm sure you are already aware of.
