Some bands broke up because it took them so long to create something in the studio, the free enterprise had long disappeared before anything was committed. Welcome to Working week who only took 3 years to record this. Three years?
I would suggest not the type of music you would normally associate with the Virgin label, there is no doubting the quality of both the music and vocalist. A 3 piece band(with help), they produced a fine sounding LP. Described as ‘acid’ or ‘contemporary’ jazz I’ll leave it to the experts to argue the differences. But there is certainly a pop element to this underpinned by the jazz components.
It plays really well and with a bonus 12” single it represents good value for money and should be a worth addition to any collection. Great vocals from Juliet Roberts. You may not mainstream on acid jazz but if you want to broaden your horizons in that direction, this isn’t a bad starting point….
