BUY, BEG OR STEAL : Be Seeing You (UA,1977)

 

     Posle odlaska Wilko Johnsona,niko Feelgoodima nije davao mnogo šanse.'Be Seeing You' pokazuje da su svi pogrešili.

     Iako se uglavnom sastoji od obrada,one su odsvirane tako moćno i žestoko da je to pravo uživanje.Mayo nije Wilko,i ne trudi se da ga kopira.Svira sopstvenim stilom koji se savršeno uklopio u Feelgood zvuk.Ritam sekcija gruva kao i obično,a pevanje Lee Brilleauxa je standardno energično.Na momente mi se čini da je ovaj album snimljen uživo u studiju,sirovo i bez nasnimavanja.

     Pub rock u svom najboljem izdanju.
