[@craigbridge1928]

Went to so many of this era of Alastair 's gigs.. magnificent. My hero

[@KeithRankinaussiekeith]

In the early 80s I went to Christchurch in New Zealand with my wife and friends. Alastair came to the bar and started talking to me and I ended up going up on the stage and talking to the other band members, while they were having a break. Was cool, always remember that time. Wonder what Alastair is up to now and the other band members. I really loved and still do, the track, Positive Action.

[@stephenwaller7461]

Brilliant collection of tracks I aint heard of b4. Nice one...

[@80zforever]

Love Positive Action album. What a pity this song wasn't a hit.

[@RRRWeAreProgrammed]

Did an amazing job in the Recent David Bowie Alumni band tour as one of the five vocalists, well done !

[@KeithRankinaussiekeith]

I do have the entire album still in audio cassette ( tape )

[@integralpix]

Jonah Hill on drums. Right on!

[@javierfigueroa8480]

Muy buena

[@grahamsinclair9359]

Alastair, I wonder about the reference to dating Zero. Is this love of Waltzer for Reptile? Great song, why have I never heard it til now. I mean, it's very early 80's but there's a crispness to it and some great synth bits.

[@nandofigueira2005]

cool

[@JohnHWelch63]

I can see why this band is in the obscure category

[@MrMikeytenerife]

Any more tracks from this impossible to find album please

[@donpixote3321]

geez louise any song that starts with twin organs can only go in one direction..to the dustbin

[@zigtailzapper3723]

And it's Kerry lamb not lambe

[@jpx08]

So why did Radio New Zealand ban Alastair Riddell? I must have missed that one.

[@davidlopan6872]

[@zigtailzapper3723]

Pianoist's my dad

[@brontecaro]

[@heelgill]

My dad as well.

[@WoodRatGirl]

He has a tiny bit of a Gary Numan look going on there.

[@zigtailzapper3723]

They got it wrong

[@paulbradley705]

albums get over $300 .

[@anthonyleighton4754]

lead singer - a bit of a gary numan fan? a bit .........

[@illiterality]

More like Midge Ure tho

[@sparkle8632]

This song is a zero.

[@tygertone]

It's a zillion times better than most of the crappy stuff that passes for music now! Alistair can actually sing!!!

[@BrianSmith-vl7xu]

Looking like a bad Bowie copy and sounding very dated. I guess that's down to production.

[@tygertone]

And who the hell cares whether it sounds dated or not........!!! Good music is timeless.
