Thoughts

This is an interesting one. Obviously Vienna, the title track from this album, is an incredible, classic and long-lasting song that will stand the test of time. Amazing to know that Midge wasn’t that bothered about it and his refrains of ’this means nothing to me’ are more about the song than anything else.

But I was surprised because I quite liked the rest of it too. Usually when I catch up with an older album that has one or two classic songs on it, the rest pales into comparison but there were a good few other tracks on here that I also enjoyed. A good one!
