Old Enough to Forget

This was another one of those "still sealed" records I scored for my birthday. The cover looked cool, I subconsciously filed this under rock and prog, and assumed I was in for a '70s keyboard driven album. I mean, with a title like Fuse , with a cover that featured an old glass fuse - the kind you could once find in your stove or old electric panel - I figured this was going to be an electrified experience. Before I dropped the needle I scanned the back cover, and the only name I recognized was Hayward Parrott, who engineered the album. This was cool, as I'd just seen his name on The Front, an album I'd just found. While the cover showed Rich Wamil & Copperpenny, the album's spine and the record label attributed this to Copperpenny. I'm guessing at the time there was some name recognition for Mr. Wamil, and sure enough on the credits his name is in bold print. The album opens with "Disco Queen" and sure enough, what I'm getting is a blend...
