Customer Reviews

Ahead of their time

This album brings back great memories for me. I was a huge "Baby's" fan back in the late 70's and early 80's and always felt they were underrated and under appreciated. As music progressed in the 80's I remember thinking that the Baby's were just ahead of their time, and that they had influenced many of the great bands of the 80's. Journey's sound definitely benefited from bringing in "Baby's" keyboardist/songwriter Jonathan Cain. John Waite went on to have a nice solo career and a couple decent albums with Bad English, but for me it will always be the Baby's who bring back the memories of the early 80's.

One of their best!

This is one of The Babys best albums. Don't buy individual songs, but rather get the whole album. Hear it the way the band wanted you to hear it... in its entirety! The muscianship is excellent. All of the band memerbs are so talented and they really brought it together for this album. Brings back great memories!

Back On Their Feet For Sure...!!!

After the extremely successful 1978's "Head First", The Babys continued their growing success as a band with the 1980 release "Union Jacks". Adding extremely talented songwriter and keyboardist Jonathan Cain along with bassist Ricky Phillips, the band delivered a solid 9-song album that featured the huge hits "Back On My Feet Again" and "Midnight Rendezvous" constantly blaring from FM radio stations.

John Waite again shines brightly with his vocal prowess and shows continued versatility throughout as this album differs just a bit from the previous ones as it takes a very successful, overall harder power pop-rock posture primarily dominated from the masterful keyboard power of the newly added and talented Cain. This combined with a growing maturity in their collective songwriting proved "Union Jacks" is another winner!

The Babys generated extensive hype upon formation in 1976 as one of mainstream pop/rock's brightest hopes for the future.

The group consisted of vocalist/bassist John Waite, guitarist Wally Stocker, former Spontaneous Combustion and Strider drummer Tony Brock, and keyboardist/guitarist Mike Corby, who was replaced by Jonathan Cain in 1978; bassist Ricky Phillips also joined...
