A hard-to-find album cut with a bunch of German musicians who all share the songwriting credits. They include veterans like Frank Diez, Bertram Engel, Nippy Noya, Jean-Jacques Kravetz, Reggie Worthy and the late Bernd Gärtig.
The definite highlight is "Bird on the Beach", a passionate seven-minute epic where Eric belts it out as if his life depended on it.
