5. 100 I Dream
“100 I Dream” has somehow always felt like the weakest song on the LP – but actually on re-hearing it in 2016 – I’m digging it a whole lot more – even if it isn’t the greatest tune on the CS roster.”
4. How Many Times
“His always close to the surface pain and longing come screaming through the aching “How Many Times” – one of the LP’s forgotten gems. Herbie Flowers plays a sweet bass but Cat’s own gentle tinkles on the piano also entrance.”

3. Foreigner Suite
“”…There are no words…I can use…because the meaning still leaves for you to choose…” opens the 18:21 minutes of the 8-part “Foreigner Suite”. Beautifully musical – the moods dip and sway – fast to slow – the production so damn good. You can hear Bernard Purdie’s expert drumming, Phil Upchurch flicking those guitar strings – but most of all you can hear Cat giving it passion when he sings and the sheer range of instruments he plays.”
2. Later
“Later” is a wicked foot-tapper that could also have been a lead off 7″ single if not for its slightly saucy nature – Phil Upchurch, the girls and those Jean Roussel string arrangements (this one done in conjunction with Cat) all adding hugely to the overall sonic impact.”

1. The Hurt
” The Hurt is the second best track, very catchy and comfortable, keeping a lot of his classic sounds. In conclusion, the cd is an incredible experimentation with its mellodic, changing moods its worth the purchase. Not dissapointing at all.”
