From ricks helmet hair to rhino looking like something out of Brother Cadfael, coupled with jeans abs jacket combo this is the nadir of the bands image. The music is completely without artistic merit and the general period is best forgotten.
To think this was released at the height of Brit pop speaks volumes about the lack of direction at the time. Oasis were writing blistering Quo sounding songs like cigarettes and alcohol and we got tilting at the mill and this slop

mortified just wondering what covers albums you like? And where does Rhino's Come Together appear? The 3 that I have time for are: The Penthouse Tapes by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band (not ALL covers I hasten to add, but mostly); Pin-Ups by David Bowie; Reload by Tom Jones; Feedback by Rush isn't bad. I also notice that Deep Purple's new covers album has two tracks already done on that Rush album. Rhino's Come Together is from an album called Lennon Bermuda. Can't find it on YouTube but this is the album cover:

mortified cheers Yes I remember enjoying that Rush album when I heard it I really like Run Devil Run by Paul McCartney. It's amazing how few covers albums come to mind given how many I've probably heard Love the new Joanne Shaw Taylor blues covers album. But that barely counts as I didn't know any of the songs!

Most of their covers sound like they were farted out on a first run through. There were glimpses of creativity on aquostic 1, but the second one sounded more like a pub band
However I do think Sorrow is a decent cover.
