It seems when typing in "Mellotron" on eBay, the second "Two-Too" LP
from Fireballet keeps popping up.
That's 'cos the seller doesn't know a Mellotron when he (doesn't) hear one.
Not helped by keyboard player Frank Petto being credited with 'Pettotron'...
The same LP that didn't sell the
first few go-'rounds on the auction block. Such a lame album
compared to their first disc. Some bands, like Aorta, or Germany's
Wind for example--can put out just two albums--each one as different
as night and day.
Although it's not a patch on their debut, I think 'Two, Too...' is unfairly
maligned - if you compare it more with Styx (before they went AOR) rather
than 'Night on Bald Mountain' it isn't actually a bad album.
So; did the Passport label actually ever release any genuine rubbish?
Discuss.
