Ahhh, I really want to F**K YOU...................2007-07-12

Classic line as "midnight rendevouz" fades out on this 8 track
Almost as classic as David Lee Roth's
"Look I'll pay you for it what the F**k?" from Everybody wants some 8 track

Great CD, But if this is available why is it $50?.......2007-03-30

Came to Amazon to buy this yesterday, $50? Wow, I thought some company had re-released it.....I found it at Great Escape Nashville for $6.99........oh well, have been a Babys fan all my life, seen them live 6 or 8 times and hung with John W. many times...........I agree it is a close second to Headfirst, I keep asking Tony B. when they're going to re-unite and he says,"Ask John!" So, if anybody reading this is involved, how about a vintage Babys concert on DVD, goodness knows they were way ahead of the game as far as video presentation goes. Great CD, buy it if you can afford it!

Waiting to long!!.......2005-01-02

Man i have been searching for this cd forever!!!! I had the cassette back in the 80'S when it first came out and i wore out the tape listening to it over and over again. Thank you amazon.com for finding what seemed impossible.

On An Roll with "Union Jacks".......2004-04-26

After the extemely successful 1978's "Head First", The Babys continued their growing success as a band with 1980's "Union Jacks". Adding extremely talented songwriter and keyboardist Jonathan Cain along with bassist Ricky Phillips, the group delivered a solid 9-song album that had 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 as it takes a very successful, overall harder power pop posture primarily dominated from the masterful keyboard power of the talented Cain. That combined with a growing maturity in their songwriting helped with the inclusion of Cain as well as Phillips proved "Union Jacks" another winner!

This album scared my mom almost to death.......2004-04-20

I picked up Union Jacks right about the time that punk was making the news every night. I came home on the day I bought it and set it on the table so I could make myself a snack before I listened to it. Mom walked over and I literally saw the color drain from her face. "What kind of band is this?" she asked, trying unsuccessfully to hide her fear and shock. "Oh, they're a big new punk band. I love 'em. Do we have any safety pins?" I said cruelly. Mom's face crumpled as she imagined me with spiked hair and thumbtacks through my nostrils, and I couldn't keep a straight face any longer. I let her off the hook and went looking for my dad.
Union Jacks is easily the Baby's second best album, with only a couple of less than shining moments keeping it from sharing Head First's five star rating. (Those moments being In Your Eyes, Anytime and Love Is Just A Mystery.) Everything else, especially Back On My Feet Again, True Love, True Confessions and Midnight Rendezvous. These three hold up well even today, although only Back On My Feet Again seems to have been deemed good enough to make our local "classic rock" station's lineup. Is anything sadder than Cincinnati radio?
