THE BABYS fifth, and final, album )originally release in 1980) was conceived and executed in an atmosphere of confusion and fatigue. And the fact that it still managed to feature numbers that would be able to muscle their way into any fan’s top twenty Babys tunes is testament to many things.
Apart from the music, however, the band was beginning to implode. Chrysalis had gone through an organisational restructure, inter band relationships were at breaking point, Jonathan Cain was about to jump ship and join tour headliners Journey and, at a fateful gig in Cincinnati, John Waite severely injured his knee, forcing the band to cancel all live work. At that point it was all over bar the crying.
Produced, once again, by Keith Olsen (Foreigner, Preview, Fleetwood Mac etc) and recorded in Los Angeles, ‘OTE’ contains ten slices of top class melodic hard rock, with all the accoutrements that you might reasonably expect from such a seasoned band - from lean and mean hard rock to more melodic faire and all points in between. The end, then, to a magnificent career, but at least they went out in style with ‘OTE’ being an essential and fitting finale.
24-bit remastering from original source tapes, 4, 000 word story of the making of the album by Howrad Johnson, exclusive interview with John Waite, photos and memorabilia, all spread out over a superb 16 page full colour booklet.
