The first time I ever smoked a joint was at Parkhead Football Stadium in Glasgow in 1975, during The Who - Put The Boot In Tour. One of the support acts on the bill was The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, and as the clouds of smoke disappeared, I suddenly came face to face with this band, that had all the wonderful mannerisms of 1970's progressive rock theatrics, mixed in with the hard edged Glasgow rock sound, and I was entranced. Years later, I was privileged to have Ted McKenna come in and drum with us for a few months, during the recording of the Internal Exile album. It was if our paths were starting to twist together at that point, because I'd decided to go for an album called Songs From The Mirror in 1992, which took in all the songs from the 70's, from bands that really influenced me. One of the songs that I picked out was Boston Tea Party, but rather that record it with my own band, I really wanted to bring in someone special, and I was overjoyed when The Sensational Alex Harvey Band agreed to come in and record it. The couple of days that we spent together putting this track down were a wee boy's dream come true, and I am totally overjoyed at the outcome. It really shows off the band to be the great rock'n'roll band that they still are.
