Woo Hoo, another BOS for "No Time To Lose".

I've never heard this song before, obviously Al Stewart on the vox, but is that Tom Scott on sax?  Reminds me of "Jazzman" and "Car on a Hill" a bit.


Nope, AMG says it's Phil Kenzie. Similar tone to Tom Scott, but a little honkier.

And this could potentially be another wrong year--Time Passages was released in 78, it says, and this didn't chart so potentially the chart action rule doesn't apply. Dave must remember it from 79, that's it.
Let's get right to it.

Who's this "no time to lose, no time to lose"?  If I had to guess, I'd say Head East, but I think I've only heard this once or twice before.

I was already looking that up, thinking it might've been Rafael Ravenscroft, but it's someone named Phil Kenzie who has no other links in AMG.

It charted in '79, I'm sure of it.

Tarney-Spencer Band, their only significant hit & a WDRV staple.

You just like saying "Rafael Ravenscroft."

That's OK, so do I.

you are correct, sir! (I think)

ELO's lyrics at their most nonsensical: "You're looking good just like a snake in the grass"?

Never did figure out who "Brrrrruce" (as opposed to "Brooooce") is, or why he's bringing J.Lynne down.

Ooops, I must have clicked wrong or else there was a momentary glitch on AMG.  He has an extensive credit history, starting with Manfred Mann in '69 and notably featuring the original cast recording of Rocky Horror!
