The Bottom Line:
Some modest echoplex on one song only. Also contains May You Never cover.
Recorded at Air Studios, London, by Pete Henderson and Mike Stavrou.
On the cover, track #5 is called 'River Rising'.
May You Never is a rather straightforward cover, with no participation of John.
In 1982 the album was rereleased under the title Weather The Storm on the Mays label (May being McTells original surname).
