The cover's a bit creepy, but the album's still plenty great – old school Cameo still strongly in a funk-based mode, before some of the stiffer grooves of their later years!

Excellent early work from Cameo, with a sublime approach they'd lose once they hit the big time – tightly funking, but not too fast, though still accessible! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Massively funky work from Cameo – a set that's right in the middle of their classic early run – and still quite strong on the bass-heavy grooves the group helped inspire in countless legions of imitators!

A cooker from this Chicago living legend – and proof that the passage of time hasn't dimmed the talents of Eddie Campbell at all!
