3 stars This is a prequel from Silent Nights from 1985.

I have the entire album on my cellphone and honestly, i like that album.

Right... About the songs, Glory Boys have a power Rock with a slow segment. The singer is not so bad, but nothing surpass Ashley Holt and your works on Journey, Arthur and Earthly. The opening is shining and melancholic.

Ghost of A Rock'n'Roll Star (Jethro Tull aspires the thematic of this song) is from a Phantom of Rock get to wish to return to the stages. The melody is interesting and the musical references (like a Jimi Hendrix) is so cool.

Elgin Mansions is a piano training. I feel this song should stay in one of the Airs Trilogy, but, the "rickrock" album have a necessity to have a different things...

Well, i never known a one single album have a differences from the integral album, but i think this don't have differences... (I need to check...)
