Pass It Around (Smokie Album)
''Pass It Around'' is the debut studio album by British rock band Smokey (later renamed Smokie), released in 1975. The album features eleven original group songs and two Nicky Chinn / Mike Chapman compositions. The Chinn / Chapman written title track was chosen to be Smokie's debut single. "Pass It Around" / "Couldn't Live" was released on 21 March 1975 but failed to make the BBC Radio 1 playlist. The problem was playlist controllers who thought that the ambiguous lyrics might be seen as a reference to smoking marijuana. As a result, the single failed to reach the UK Top 50. To promote ''Pass It Around'', Smokie extensively tour Britain starting on 24 April 1975 as support act to Pilot, who scored a UK No. 1 hit with "January". Despite all the promotion activity, neither album nor single managed to chart in the UK. Track listing 2016 bonus tracks * 14. Couldn't Live – 2:23 * 15.
