It Takes One To Know One: Lavender Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Org Music
Release Date: 5th December

Detective's childishly named 'It Takes One To Know One' is one of those records you'd cast over while flicking over the ROCK (need you to say it in a Saxondale/Tommy Vance) voice, mainly cos the original album cover is properly dated, their name is rubbish and they look confusingly new wave. Truth is, they're basically Faces. but with Yes keyboards to add some sparkle to pub rock. Great fun, mind. 

Released in 1977 on Led Zeppelin’s Swan Song Records, It Takes One To Know One found Detective pushing their swaggering hard rock even further, with frontman Michael Des Barres and former Yes keyboardist Tony Kaye at the helm. Blending muscular riffs, blues-soaked grooves, and a touch of glam, the album cemented the band’s reputation as one of Swan Song’s fiercest signings. This limited edition reissue is pressed on lavender vinyl, newly remastered by Dave Gardner, and packaged with updated artwork plus a fold-out insert. A long-overlooked gem of ’70s rock, finally back in print with the care it deserves.
