REVIEW
Druhé "post Chinn-Chapmanovské" album Smokie. Absence hitů je na jednu stranu znát, na druhou zní celé LP kompaktněji, sevřeněji a rockověji. Skupina dokázala na desce přetavit do svého soundu řadu inspiračních zdrojů, a tak se prokázalo, že má platnost jisté nadčasové kategorie. I přes pozitivní ambice "Solid Ground" komerčně neuspělo.
