Tight, inspired, rockin'. Best of the Euro '72 run. Give it some love, folks!

One knows from Jerry's opening vocals "cost a lot to win" sung with extra twang, that it's gonna be rockin' with that good county, funky vibe.

Inspired.

High octane here.. My only quibble is that Bobby is a little to eager to come in on the verses, cutting off what could have been longer and hotter jamming. Even worse, he botches the lyrics. But no matter, the boys are tight and locked-in here, and this version still crackles with energy.

For me, 1981 is the all-around best year for Althea, and this one does not disappoint!
