When the second Beacon Street Union album “The Clown Died In Marvin Gardens” failed to have any impact outside their fan-base, guitarist and vocalist Paul Tartachny left the group, leaving the rest to decide to carry on with a slightly changed line-up under the name of Eagle. Much of their output from that period seems altogether harder and more abrasive, in fact there’s there is quite a strong early Rolling Stones and garage influence going on throughout the whole LP. The Jagger-esque vocals are quite evident on the brilliant garage influenced hard rockin’ opener “Pack Up”. “Come In, It’s All For Free” was a single B-Side and is an excellent track, a melodic hard rocker with a catchy refrain. “Brown Hair” showcases the band’s softer side and is the only country influenced song here. “Dance On Little Beauty” continues the garage influenced theme and there’s a strong late 1950’s early 1960’s “Good Golly Miss Molly-esque” R&B influence going on here. “ City Girl” again showcases the band’s softer side, albeit this time a beautiful ballad. “Kickin' It Back To You” was released as a single and is a killer track which, despite bearing a faint resemblance to The Rolling Stones “Gimme Shelter”, actually enjoyed some plays on the Northern Soul circuit, the only track on the album to feature horns, that, coupled with soulful backing vocals and garage sneers. Radio Luxembourg apparently had this at the top of their playlist for some time, but that didn't translate into sales in the UK and nor did it really take off in their home country either. “Separated” is a catchy medium paced 1960’s style rocker with some great quivering vocals. There’s more sneering Stones influenced vocals and interesting chord changes on “We Got A Good Thing Goin’ / Get A Hit And Run” which seems to be two  tracks coupled together and is about drugs. The early beat/garage theme continues with the rocker “Snake In The Grass”. The last track on the album “Comin’ Home Day” is another fine rock ballad with thoughtful lyrics. The album only sold in minute quantities, getting a UK release in 1970 on the UK Pye imprint (Janus in the USA which is more common). It’s not surprising the album didn’t sell as it sounds like it belongs to a much earlier era, more 66’ than 70’. After Eagle's album failed to register with US or UK audiences, it would seem that the band gave up entirely, which is a shame because it’s a genuine lost classic and deserves a much wider audience.
