[honeysouldreamstar]

Great song, except for the VIP thing

I still have the LP

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.

Question: I saw them live with Nazareth in '78 in Calif. Is the lead singer of Detective

wheelchair bound(he sat in a chair I thought the whole 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.

My guitar teacher is like best friends with their drummer, fuckin great band

[NOwhutIMthayin]

Arguably the greatest rock and roll voice and one of the great bands to go COMPLETELY UNDISCOVERED... That is a shame...but, then again...we see what happens when great bands get discovered. Just enjoy what they gave us... Pure GENIUS!
