My all-time favourite is 'Love Has Remembered Me' with 'Oowatanite' in close second. 




For many years, April Wine was Canada's best kept secret.  These are their singles ...

Growing up in Montreal in the 70s, I heard a lot of April Wine songs.

Actually my top 10 April Wine songs all come from the 70's, they are

You won't dance with me
Could have been a lady
Rock and roll is a vicious game
Bad side of the moon
I'm on fire for you baby
Lady run, lady hide
Tonight is a wonderful time to fall in love
Like a lover, like a song
Oohwatanite
I wouldn't want to lose your love

I just tried to listen to JUST BETWEEN YOU AND ME (I guess I like that one better than gypsy queen) .... Sounds like a piece of crap!!

I would really like hearing it in analogue again :)
