I Loved This Record!!! Thanks for publishing the track listing. Started me off on pwer-pop (Raspberries) One of the first times I heard a Bob Marley tune (after Johnny Nash “Stir It Up”) Some wonderful feel-good tracks “Speak To The Sky” / “Beautiful Sunday” etc. I’m trying to find a copy on Ebay with no luck currently. Again, thanks for the memory aid!!
