This is the follow up album to their mildly successful debut. Even though it had some success the band was dropped by EMI America. The band was smart enough to hire Peter Paterno who at the time was a little known attorney. Peter went on to be a giant in the industry getting several large bands signed. Anyway Peter git RPM an audition with Warner Bros. The showcase went well and the band received a phone call shortly that competed the deal. The record people wanted the album recorded in LA but the band preferred the U.K. The record company agreed and the album was recorded at Sarm West Studios in Notting Hill. The band was able to use Gary Langan as the producer and that was a big deal. Gary thought they had a number one album on their hands but alas, they didn’t. The single was “It’s Only Water” which had aa real “Owner Of A Lonely Heart” feel which Langan had engineered. I think it’s a fantastic song but I think it flew a little too close to the previously mentioned song. I think the whole album is great and I would have loved it had I heard it at the time. I didn’t because it didn’t get a Canadian release. Unfortunately this would be it for RPM which is too bad, they had a good thing going.
