Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Yep...you read it right. Here is the story. There is tension between Spooner & Fee. Spooner is ready to exit the group. Fee records a solo LP and wants to release it the SAME TIME as Love Bomb comes out. The band asks him no to do it, but Capitol Records chooses to back Fee's LP in a MAJOR way and dump LOVE BOMB on the streets with NO promotion. I know all this becuase I worked in an AOR radio station in the Lexington KY market during that time. Capitol Records would not even consent to a lyrics inner sleeve (with artwork by Cotton & Prince)...you had to write the Tubes Fan Club and request a Xerox copy. Thus ended the group known as the Tubes. This is all too bad because this record had the potential to be even bigger than Outside/Inside. Side 2 is one continuous montage of music...a favorite at college parties. Todd Rundgren was brought aboard replacing David Foster as producer. Prairie got his first computerized drum machine (a Fairlight I believe). This LP rocks more than most others released in 1985. Don't pass it up simply becuase you don't remember it...blame it on Capitol Records.
