GET BACK TO WHERE YOU ONCE BELONGED

Linda, one of my co-editors here at Globotron—uh, CREEM—came back from lunch with Detroit disco producer extraordinaire Don Davis, waving an acetate of the new Robin Trower album.

The two things did not seem to have any relation at all. Robin Trower did what to Don Davis? Don Davis did what to Robin Trower? Does this have anything to do with Robin "Wah Wah" Trower, or is it a cute new black thrush along the lines of Rose Royce? Huh?

Nope, this is English Robin Trower, the guitarist who single-handedly turned the special electronic effects business into a zillion dollar industry...

We gave the record 9 spin, and it might as well have been Rose Royce... no thunder of the gods guitar solos, quite...and sure enough, oF Don had managed to infuse quite a bit of chugga chugga rhythm.. .Robin Trower, you say?
