Jay Ferguson Thunder Island Songs Thunder Island Music Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)  LOng Overdue on CD
This album, although not overly popular on its release in 1977 (although god knows why not!), is absolutely brilliant. I vividly remember buying this album on vinyl in late 1977 on the strength of the single Thunder Island and it did not disappont - each trach nbrilliant in their own right. I was 15 in high school at the time in New Zealand and I could not wait until I got home so I could play it - and play it loud. This album takes me back to the memories of the era - late sevebties when music was music (aprt from disco). This along with Foreigners debut album being the best of that year
My vinyl copy is still in my collection, dusty and scratched to bits so I haven't listened to it in years. Now its on CD it's my next purchase and I'm gonna enjoy reliving those memories again and again. Music like this (good driving rock along with a couple of slowies) doesn't get released that much anymore having been taken over by the crap of today where most musicians lack the talent of yesteryear. Stand out tracks include (apart from the title track which in itself is a gem even today) Nightshift, Happy Birthday Baby, Losing Control and Magic Moment and I'm gonna enjoy hearing those goodies again.

Until recently, the only way you could hear this gem from the 70's was to pull out your vinyl. Jay Ferguson's second solo album "Thunder Island" is a theme album about sun and surf on some make believe magical island paradise. Songs like the title track Thunder Island, Losing Control, and Babylon are all up-tempo rock and will bring the memories flooding back. Joe Walsh plays guitar on most tracks which keeps the album on the edgy side of pop. A must for any fan of early Spirit or Jo Jo Gunne bands.

This is one of those albums that I suspect will disappear from shelves after all the hard core Jay Ferguson fans (yes, we exist) get their copies. The song "Thunder Island" will be immediately recognizable to anyone who grew up in the late 70s/early 80s. It's an incredible song. The rest of the album is in the same style, although there's not another song as good as "Thunder Island." Now, if they would only release "Real Life Ain't That Way" which featured Jay's hit "Shakedown Cruise," I'd be in heaven!

greatest album ever
This is a great cd for any of those 70s type music fans. If you haven't heard the hit Thunder Island then I insist that you get out and headr it for yourself. It also features one of my favorites, Losing Control.

| | Neil Young On The Beach CD (1974) Remastered
Thunder Island
$9.19 
After working his way through loss and chaos on the brilliant TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT (recorded in 1973, but not released until 1975), Neil Young deftly exorcised any lingering demons with 1974's ON THE BEACH. The album opens with the saunter of the aptly titled "Walk On," followed by the utterly gorgeous, Wurlitzer-tinged "See the Sky about to Rain."
The set also features a trio of scathing songs--"Revolution Blues," "Vampire Blues," and "Ambulance Blues"--that address issues important to Young, both social and personal. It is good to hear Young back with such bite and vitriol, especially after the broken desperation of TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT. But while ON THE BEACH is edgy and deeply felt, it also manages to sound liberating and relaxed, with glimmers of hope and humor peeking through the spare, evocative arrangements. Inexplicably unreleased on CD until 2003, ON THE BEACH is both unflinching and resilient, and easily stands as one of Young's finest albums.
