The album featured here – “Almost Frantic” is not a bad album at all, sporting a remix of his earlier hit “Hush” along with his other single “In The Heat Of The Night”. Overall, the album is hard hitting and has some great moments, including some great sax work by guest artist ‘Wilbur Wilde’ (from OL 55)
This post consists of a MP3 rip taken from my Vinyl copy of Almost Frantic and includes full album artwork for both LP and CD.
I have also included a live rendition of the hit “Hush” from a 1980 episode of Countdown as a bonus track. Likewise, live versions of “In the Heat Of The Night” and “Roar Of The Wild Torpedoes” have also been added, sourced from the infamous Mushroom Evolution Concert held at the Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, in 1982.
As an extra special treat, I’m also including a YouTube clip of Morris doing “Hush” at the ‘It’s A Long Way To The Top Concert Spectacular’. Take note of his very cool ‘Peace Glasses”
