And what album! With the addition of Kevin Ellis on sax, the band (Mouse on vocals, Ashley Kingman on guitar, and the twins Andy and Dave Bourne on bass and drums), helped by producer Boz Boorer (Polecats) shows a rare cohesion and maturity for a debut album. With a majority of self penned tunes (only two covers) they go from boogie blues (Sure Like The Look In Your Eyes probably) to rockabilly (Clicketty Clack, Move Baby Move) with forgetting jump blues (It's My Lucky Day, Bad Girl), jazzy ballad (So Lonely On My Own produced by Peter Davenport of Stargazer's fame), instrumental with a Django Reinhardt feel (Hey Gringo) and rockin' blues in the best Chess Records tradition (Postman Blues with blues harp and the Diddley tinged Take A Walk Up The Apple Tree). All this (and much more) make of Wait'n'See one of the best and most influential album of the 80's. The cd version offers two live cuts of Sure Like The Look In Your Eyes and She Got Back On That Train. You can find a very jazzy version of Caldonia from the same session on the now hard to find compilation album "The Northwood Story vol 1". Fred "Virgil" Turgis
