Tomorrow Belongs To Me

Album Summary

Tomorrow Belongs to Me is the fourth studio album by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. It was released in 1975 on Vertigo Records. While no A-side singles were released from this album, three compositions were used as B-sides to other SAHB singles: "Soul in Chains", as a live version taken from the subsequent tour, "Shake That Thing" and "Snake Bite". The album's title track was a cover of a key song in the 1966 musical Cabaret and its 1972 film adaptation. In his 2002 book The Sensational Alex Harvey, John Neil Munro suggests that the album was written while the group was on tour, a common practice for them. In this instance the group had only recently toured the US, attracting devotees such as Iggy Pop and Elton John. If written while on tour in the US, the album must therefore have been recorded (at Scorpio and Air Studios) in the early months of 1975, as it was released in April of that year.

Tomorrow Belongs to Me is the fourth studio album of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. While their second album, on the original list, was more glam rock, this album moves towards a hard rock sound. It is a likeable album and certainly not weak or bad, but also not very remarkable. I know a lot of 1970s rock and would not choose this one over a lot of the other ones.

Hell yeah! Very weird, very Glaswegian, very brilliant. Six stars! (five plus a Scottish bonus point!)

Funny rockband. Sometimes it even feels like a parody-band. But in all, I did like it

I still remember when I got the Alex Harvey Band album on the original list. It was something I had never heard before. Familiar, but unique at the same time. I liked that album, and I like this one as well. It's fun, catchy, and never dull. 4 stars.

Love the cover art, and the album was offbeat and interesting.

Offbeat and quirky, which is usually a plus, but here is mostly offputting. Grew on me a little in the first half but fully over it by the end. Cover art is pretty dope.

My initial (i.e. first 10-15) minutes reminded me a little of Ian Dury and Bon Scott but a little less fun. Like... maybe you had to be there? I know Alex was a big influence on a lot of artists I enjoy but 50 years later it comes across as fine guitar-based rock... ...until the ridiculous "Tale of the Giant Stoneater" and "Ribs and Balls" - the former is just weird enough to make me notice and the latter really drives home the Ian Dury comparisons for me. I don't know how/why but this grew on me - previous SAHB listens/albums I've hated his vocals but maybe it was the Fish (Marillion) sound-alike (yes I know AH was ages before) on this one combined with the general weirdness that hooked me a bit more. Not at all prepared to give this a 4... yet? Feels like depending on the (my) mood I could either really love this or throw it in the trash. Hence my gutless 3, but I think I may give it another shot. 7/10 3 stars (also funny to me that half of this band ended up as most of the Michael Schenker Group)

Album has a strong start but then goes downhill. Not so keen on the vocals either and always thought Framed and the 1001 inclusion Next are the better albums containing the classic SAHB songs (Hammer Song, Faith Healer etc).
