Sep.1978 (UK#3, US#69)
新メンバーに元Cockney RebelのキーボーディストDuncan Mackayを
迎えて製作された、オリジナル６枚目のアルバム。
「旅」をテーマにしたコンセプト・アルバムですが、前作との大きな違いは
Eric、Graham以外のメンバーが曲作りに携わっていること。
特にReds In My BedはEric、Graham以外がリード・ヴォーカルをとる希有な例の一つ。
Ericの友人であるMoody BluesのJustin Haywardがジャマイカで実際に遭遇した
話を題材にしたDreadlock Holidayは「レゲエなんて嫌い」という詞を
レゲエに乗せて歌う逆説的な面白さもあって全英１位を獲得しました。
