Aren't they fantastic, and isn't this track beautiful? Shelley sounds like a jazz singer. He was that versatile, that good, and Budgie were a lot more than a "hard rock" band. Burke lives in my city of Cardiff UK and goes to a local rock pub. I've chatted with him a few times. He's a great guy, really friendly. I said where did "Hot As a Docker's Armpit" come from. He told me Steve Marriot (Faces, Humble Pie) used to often say it. Straight from the Budgie's mouth I got that!

FMOB's .. takes me back !!. Some used to joke that the best thing ever to come out of Wales was the severn bridge, but I would protest !!. It was without doubt BUDGIE .. the great unsung HERO'S of the 70's rock scene, ans still good to this day .. Burke Shelly should have got a knight hood , but given he's Welsh I suppose he should be grateful he wasn't hanged by the Britts for being so amazing !!.

No singer could startle like Burke Shelley could.

Slipaway spends a minute seemingly introducing a straightforward rock ballad, then suddenly we have a latin-jazz inflected verse, with Burke's high, elegant and supple voice light years removed from "rock"!

beautiful... I remember now that once upon a time music meant more than brainwashing kids out of their money.
