About
“No Strings” is the third and final studio album by Ace. Released on Anchor record, the band had relocated to the United State. Where they would have Jon Woodhead join the group to replace the now departed Phill Harris in June 1976. Shortly thereafter, they recorded and released the album in the same year. The main difference from other Ace albums is Paul Carrack’s vocals being more prominent than previous Ace album. However, even with his vocals on two singles released off the album, they failed to chart. Leaving Ace to disband in July of 1977. The sound of the album contrasts a large amount with their previous album, “Time For Another”. With “Time For Another”, the band featured a much more laid back and mellow sound. While “No Strings” has a large splash of production, more in line with their biggest hit “How Long”. With large swaths of backing vocal, as well as catchy hooks that create a body rocking groove, it definitely harkens back to the sound they had on their first record, “Five-A-Side”. .
