i dunno how i managed to grow up without this lp -- i find it 30 yrs later ! oh well , better late than never eh : this is a nice grower. not sure how this fell through the cracks:
ha , speaking of some of it reminds me of crack the sky , maybe meets kansas. its really good , let me know what you think ~ IF YOU GUYS DIG THIS , I ALSO HAVE "THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE"..
oh ya , & this one was produced by "mutt" lange , back when he was "robert john" !
:)
my fave tracks here are "5,000 years" , thats the epic here eh ? also love "greatest story ever told" & "haymaking time" !
enjoy ~

Welcome and many thanks for this.
that 'Oddball Dance' is my fave: has an old Sparks or current Martin Gordon vibe [note to MG: cover this!!]-- that ending percussion/production dreamscene breakdown is inspired!
Good album, I never heard of cityboy before today but now I would like to hear the other one too.'Thanks
the Sweet meets Sparks =
The Oddball Dance... shoulda said!

I HEAR ya; my fave Sparks may be Kimono My House, with the British band led by M Gordon, that i mentioned. He is superactive these days still doing related material!
Yes! Nice to have you back as said before! Thank you so much for all the hard work! We really love your site, and I'm speaking for thousands of people.
thx for this album
can u upload "the day the earth caught fire" too?
thanks guys !!: ok , i just finished transferring "the day the earth caught fire" , will finish it up & post it ltr today !

great post. I only know Young Men Gone West by them. That one is very 10cc. Can't wait to hear these, especially since you evoked the holy name of Crack The Sky. Thanks. You post some really cool stuff & I like your intro/warning. Great.
Thanks for spreading the word on City Boy. They actually received a fair amount of airplay in New York City back in the late 70s on WNEW-FM when the debut came out. Even a local lite station would play Haymaking Time. The good old days when rock radio was meaningful and varied.
If they have something in common with Crack the Sky, then I'm gonna check it out...
Thanks for sharing.
I have a bunch of Crack The Sky to share on my blog. Come visit and thanks again!
great music!

Thank you very much for this! Without blogs I'd never have discovered City Boy. They're great!
