2009 Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1975 album from the British Pop trio including 4 excellent bonus tracks. Signed to EMI in April 1974, consummate musicians David Paton/Billy Lyall/Stuart Tosh expertly meshed catchy tunes, punchy guitars and strong harmonies to score major international success with three albums in three years. Early70`s AM power pop mavericks and this has it all, amazing comp for 70`s power pop and even better remastered sound, surprisingly. Crisp, clear and well balanced and the separation excellent. Second Flight was their sophomore album, again produced by Alan Parsons (who would take three of Pilot to record his own album I-Robot a year later), featured a major hit with the single `January`, a #1 in many countries. "4 stars. t`s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is about Pilot that inspires such fanaticism among a devoted few, but the unlikely blending of bubblegum pop with prog rock -- replete with sunny hooks, handclaps, ambiguous cliché-ridden lyrics, and stellar musicianship -- is easy to love. It`s a rare treat to hear such accomplished artists apply their abilities to pure pop music." - AMG.2009 Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1975 album from the British Pop trio including 4 excellent bonus tracks.
