Geordie (1976) ?????- LOST 70s GEMS

A simple song by song rundown of Geordie's 1976 sophormore album Save the World; Goodbye Love is an Abba styled disco rocker while She's a Teaser has an awesome falsetto hook, Fire Queen is a chugging, heavy rocker full of Heavy Metal/ Pre-Maiden drive and snarl, I Cried Today is a flawless Reggae booster, while title track, Save the World, positively rocks with it's cynicism dressed in an upbeat chorus and a circular riff. Then there's is a bizarre Tom Jones Ripoff called of course She's a Lady, was this a subconscious lift as the chorus is almost worded the exact same? Light in the Window is a warning against stumbling from desperate romantic into stalker tendencies. So my choice is.. I Cried Today; when reggae by white rock artists works and doesn't sound forced and inauthentic.
