Hot City
PRESS REVIEWS
CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE
A forgotten SAHB gem is unearthed, proving that Vambo Rools OK - even after all these years
...Alex's vocals are mixed nice and loud, our late hero almost close enough to touch.... Big Bud's Brass are also on hand to help realise 'Shaft goes fusion' gem Man In The Jar, thus cementing Hot City's status as a real find.
MOJO MAGAZINE
....this is the sound of SAHB on the cusp of their all-conquering mid-70s pomp
RECORD COLLECTOR
....as discoveries go, this one ranks high....
..is a widely imaginative amalgam of bubblegum rock and freeform songwriting...
KERRANG
... the rock and roll equivalent of a runaway express train... Guitars squall, drums thunder and keyboard lines jostle with a driving bass line, so low-slung, it should probably be illegal.
Then the signature
voice.....its Glasgow brogue unmistakable -rasps "Hawwt... City"
It sounds like it was recorded yesterday. But in fact it dates back exacly 35 years ago this week.
NEWS OF THE WORLD
A superb album and superb piece of history.

Powered by Harvey's Glaswegian snarl and a serious band, this is an exciting insight for all SAHB fans.
CLASH MAGAZINE
....a bit of historic musical gold dust.....
Hot City is nine gems that were so nearly lost,
it's impossible not to appreciate the enormity of this discovery.
