Album Notes & Community Reviews

Bursting with youthful exuberance and razor-sharp jazz-funk musicianship, 'Pelican West' is a vibrant staple of early 1980s British pop. The inclusion of bright brass sections and tropical rhythms yielded multiple massive chart hits before frontman Nick Heyward's abrupt departure.
