A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Steven Reid: It was surprising when the ex Mott The Hoople and Mott foursome of Overend Watts, Dale Griffin, Morgan Fisher and Ray Majors remerged under the name British Lions with ex-Medicine Head frontman John Fiddler on vocals. Not least for the fact that Fiddler's hippie persona appeared at first glance to be a strange fit with the rock and rolling ex-Hooplers. With their singer suitably de-hippified, British Lions released their excellent eponymously titled debut album in 1977, before setting off to tour America. Support slots were gained with Blue Oyster Cult and UFO, however before long the band were headlining and it's from that leg of the tour that this surprisingly strong recording comes from. http://ping.fm/0xyLW
