A nice picture of a door laying in the water. In or out? You decide…the music is rather experimental, with a lot of influences, from Dylan to Brian Wilson to The Kinks to Todd Rundgren…for all of us who want something different, a record to dive into.” (Wim Boluijt) Rockbox Magazine 3/86 (Toronto): “Raised on heavy doses of Motown, British Invasion, and The Beach Boys…Blair’s first full-length album neatly fuses his spiritual concerns and rock’n’roll base…”Welcome to the Open Door” is inviting, with a gorgeous guitar and keyboard mélange at the fade; “Ya Gotta Care” is a noisy but effective rallying call; “Seven Long Years” is an update on Dylan’s “With God on Our Side” with raunch from The Clash “Should I Stay or Should I Go?” The clincher is the funny “One Planet—One Utopia—One Helmet,” evoking confusion (“Buying psychedelics at the coal mine”) with tough humor over ex-Johnny Winter And member Darryl Puett’s compact, furious guitar snatches.” (JJ Syrja) condition: Vinyl: NM appears rarely played Cover: NM In full shrink.
