Vinyl LP pressing. In contrast to it's predecessor, Time On Our Side presents a much broader musical sweep deeper grooves, shifting themes and expansive solos. Featuring superb horn work from Barbara Thompson, the opening track 'Safe As Houses' sets the bar high, while 'City Of Love' is an undoubted highlight. 'Blues To Music', a duet between Chris Farlowe and Ana Gracey, showcases the breadth of band's reach.
