Notes

This is the only release by 1970's one hit wonder Alive 'N Kickin'.  It includes their biggest hit, "Tighter, tighter" and then some.  The B-side is also included, and for some reason is stripped down to 32 seconds!  This would be the only release by the band.

Recommendations

I love looking for a deep track, which there a couple decent ones here, but the only reason to get this would be for "Tighter, tighter".  You can purchase that track on a several different compilations, so if you're not looking to expand your Alive 'N Kickin' knowledge, then just stick with some type of 1970's compilation.

If you plan on purchasing Alive 'N Kickin'

There is only one version available.  You will never find this at a major record store.  The version available on CD includes three bonus tracks, which are really not that bad.  You can purchase this album at Cdnow.com or another on-line retailer. 

If you don't plan on purchasing Alive 'N Kickin' but want to hear some tracks from it

The only tracks that I would really recommend in addition to their one hit would be "Kentucky fire" and "Mississippi mud."  The rest of the album isn't brutal, but it isn't great either.  You can purchase any of these tracks at either Itunes or Napster.
