Amazing call on the prison. Yes I picked that scene because he is a prisoner looking out at freedom he is denied.

like most bands before MTV, they did not become famous. This is their only album, apart from some soundtrack work. After MTV became big, say 1983 and on, even mediocre bands hit the big time because of their video. Hard to believe that MTV actually showed videos most all of the day.

whatever became of this band? I like Uriah Heep's version better :-)

@Heepster69 they broke up after the album charted at 126 or so. They were signed by planet records and not managed to well. Like many bands they faded into time. Some new material made it to the films Looker and Radioactive Dreams. Probably the best part of those movies.

Thank You for filling a void in my life! I used to have this song on a cassette that I would listen to almost every day on a large portable AM/FM Cassette recorder player I used in my car since it sounded better than what was stock in a 1979 Futura LOL. One day around 1981 I left it in the car and someone stole the whole radio with that tape in it! BUMMER! I never could get that song out of my head. I would be interested in buying a copy of it if someone has one for sale.

Again, Thanks

Your welcome, it is a shame that som many songs from our youth are not available on MP3. Unless they are huge POP hits. Who has an LP player anymore?

I know what you guys mean it is a great song. Luckily I have a copy that I bought when it was new. It's on a 45 but it's in good condition and I can listen to it when I feel the need.

Where exactly in California is the prison located? It reminds me of San Quentin.

@Heepster69 This band broke up in 1986 as I already explained. I don't mean to be rude, but I like Sheena Easton's version better as well. Unfortunately, only part of her version is available on Youtube but I might be able to upload the full version.

@twolfb4u I love her version.

[TheGeographyLover01]

@Joseph03743 Sheena Easton is my favorite singer and I really like her version of this song.

@MrStig44 They broke up in 1986.

Glad to find this also. This is my favorite version of this fine song. Uriah Heep, and it was also covered by Sheena Easton, which is also good, but in my opinion, not as good as this gal sings it. A gem, I too had it on cassette at one time, recorded from an FM radio station. I figured I could find it on youtube if I tried hard enough. Thanks for posting this! Rock on.
