1. For Your Love (Graham Gouldman, Arr: Rob Smith)

"For Your Love" is a cover of The Yardbirds classic, Rob used to play this song (with a similar arrangement) live during his years with Crazy Paving.

Notes by Richard Anderson:
Rob showed me a video he had of a Crazy Paving (one of his former bands) practice, it was quite hilarious in that they would all be giving each other cheek and would dress up between songs. Rob remembered later that there was a version of "For Your Love" that they would play as a 3 piece to give his wife Carol a break from singing, he had mentioned how he had always wanted to take that arrangement and have it recorded. During downtime between tracks for the "GONE WILD II" album (in fact Matt, Nilsy and I were going to work on a collection of songs with various singers while Rob was supposed to be working on his 3rd solo album, but plans changed when Rob decided he was dead keen to get on with "GONE WILD II"), Rob had set about recording "For Your Love", Matt added his bass and I added some backing vocals to the completed recording. The feedback for this track has been amazing, and we do all really like how what started out as a bit an off-the-cuff idea (so many of our good ideas come about this way) turned into something that has garnered a lot of compliments for us from all over the world.
