Album Review
Five-A-Side, Ace's debut album, is notable for introducing the world to the soulful singing talent of Paul Carrack, especially on the hit "How Long," which went to number one on some charts in 1975. The band has a low-key style, frequently dominated by Carrack's piano and organ work, that is sometimes suggestive of Traffic and of the Tulsa country-rock sound of J.J. Cale, Delaney & Bonnie, and Leon Russell, although they never work up quite as much of a sweat as the last two. Already road-weary when they made this album, Ace, especially in Carrack's lyrics, comments extensively on the travails of being in a struggling rock & roll band. Even "How Long," which sounds like the lament of a lover betrayed, is really about somebody quitting the group. All of which makes the irony of the songs being their sole hit all the more acute.

Finally!
by Derek in SDSound quality not the greatest but this is one of the songs I've searched for repeatedly on iTunes! Still waiting for the Badfinger collection but I suppose that has something to do with the Beatles and Apple records.
How Long.....
by avbfgteyFinally! great song of the 70's!
It's about time!
by k-kellI've been waiting for this album to become available on I-Tunes, and thank goodness it's finally arrived. "How Long" is one of the greatest songs of the 1970's, and brings back such wonderful memories. This album is a must for any collector of great 70's classics.
