Here's a pressing that doesn't surface nearly often enough – Ian Hunter's criminally underrated sophomore solo effort from '76, pressed by Columbia Canada. After leaving Mott the Hoople at their commercial peak, Hunter could have easily churned out "All the Young Dudes" retreads, but instead delivered this wonderfully schizophrenic collection that swings between tender piano ballads and full-throttle rockers. The title track remains one of his finest compositions, a seven-minute meditation on feeling displaced that captures the immigrant experience with surprising nuance, while "Letter to Britannia" serves as his definitive kiss-off to the UK music scene that never quite knew what to do with him.
