1972's self-produced "Seventy Second Brave" marked Hartley's first release after splitting with longtime lead singer/guitarist Miller Anderson.  Luckily Hartley found a capable replacement for Anderson in Junior Kerr.  With Kerr picking up the majority of the songwriting chores, the predominant sound remained horn-powered blues-rock, though with tracks such as 'Hard Pill To Swallow', 'Don't You Be Long'' and 'Always Thinking of You' displayed a surprisingly commercial (and occasionally funky) edge. Elsewhere, 'Don't Sign It' found Hartley pulling out another damning taped phone conversation to underscore his views on the music business and contracts.  Clearly nothing groundbreaking, but a steady and enjoyable set of early-1970s English blues-rock.
