Here's a band that deserves some extra appreciation credits for being both innovative and always fresh sounding. Named after the famous baseball player, Babe Ruth were formed in Hatfield, England in 1971. The band was more or less the vehicle for guitarist Alan Shacklock and his exceptional guitar playing and composition ability; however singer Janita Haan's "vocal power" is hard to ignore in this debut album (as well as in the rest of the works of the band which are not, unfortunately, as good as this album). "First Base" was released in 1972 penning great songs such as "Wells Fargo", "The Runaways" and the famous "The Mexican", noted for its numerous covers with Mark Hype & Lim Dunloop being the latest to cover this brilliant song. "First Base" is a must-have album, period.
