At the time of this album’s release in ’81 I was heavily into all things guitar and would buy anything I thought would have some great playing held within the grooves. When I saw the cover for this I was straight in. It’s quite telling that after this he would not release anything until 1988, and released an album with Marc Storace of Krokus. Sometimes you win and sometimes…..!!!
At the time I thought this album was sort of half and half. Half I liked and half I wasn’t too bothered with, but I’ve mellowed with age I guess and I rather like all of it. There is no doubt he can play the guitar. Check out the title track, which is my favourite, old Vic really lets it fly. Walk is all about the guitar and sounds a bit like a Ned Tangent. Hot Love is a short sharp blast with a ripping solo. Most of the songs are based around old riffs and grooves from the rock and roll era, but when he veers away from that in I Believe In Love Music it has more of an impact. I believe he is still out there performing, good on ya Vic!
7.5/10 from The Grooveman.
