The original band was gone as original vocalist\/bass player Martin Turner upped and left in 1991, drummer Steve Upton left both the band and the music business while Ted Turner lasted a live album longer that the two aforementioned. So in time for the 25th anniversary Andy met with a manager, Martin Looby, who in turn secured the band a spot on a rock festival in Geneva. And in High Definition it was\u2026 Not wasting any time Andy recruited rising guitar star Roger Filgate, bassist Tony Kishman of BEATLEMANIA fame and drummer Mike Sturgis (ex. SCOTT GORHAM\u00b4s 21 GUNS, ex. ADRIAN SMITH\u00b4s Psycho MOTEL and ASIA. <\/p>\n<p>Before you start arguing about the band give them a chance. Andy might have been the sole remaining original, but their performance is solid and tight. Opener \u201cThe King Will Come\u201d, the compelling third reunion title track \u201cStrange Affair\u201d, the ever interesting lyrics of \u201cHard Times\u201d, the sweet \u201cKeeper of the Light\u201d oral exercise \u201cVas Dis\u201d are all fabulous renditions. This disc is highly entertaining and well-executed.
