Quite the FM staple at the time, and quite a fabulous record.  And it more than makes up for the Supertramp that follows.

BOS2 (#1 was Ms Faithfull) to the Goat & friends, "Sisters of the Moon", one from Tusk you never hear.

OMFG! "Power", John Hall's ode to the No-Nukes movement. I haven't heard this since '79. BOS3 and a total flashback-wow.

New to me, and I love it.  Sounded like Carly Simon on the harmony vox.
