Looks good !!
We will publish a review soon ...
The German review was available late last year, but the English translation took longer than expected, but here it is:

Hmmm. I really ought to give this a second spin. But I disagree with the description of his guitar playing as "virtuosic". (I suspect he would as well.) And I also really can't agree that his vocals are "lovely".

QuoteApart from that, the only things we might criticize ever so gently are the synthetic drums and an occasional lack of expression in the vocals
and I agree to both. I always liked John‘s vocals. But of course - he is not a natural singer. Nor is Steve

I did note that reference in the review, but feel it was a little too kind in saying "occasional" and the earlier reference to "lovely" is rather contradictory. I have no desire to be harsh to John but I do believe in objective criticism. (Even if that could be considered an oxymoron.)

I only have Checking Out Of London and enjoyed that a lot. Sadly, can’t find my copy anymore. Any idea if this will be made available again any time soon?

Not aware of any intention to reprint, but I see there's a copy currently on eBay in the UK to buy for a tenner. This is the cheapest I've seen it for a long time. For some reason it seems to be listed at very high prices.
