Watts In A Tank - Diesel (5) - LP - Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 21days)

Released in 1980, 'Watts In A Tank' by Diesel (5) is a fascinating snapshot of transatlantic ambition. Dutch rockers Diesel delivered a record that, while rooted in European pop sensibilities, channels the muscle and bravado of American FM radio. The album’s centerpiece, 'Sausalito Summernight,' became an unexpected international hit, and for good reason—its breezy hooks, crisp guitars, and driving rhythm capture the restless optimism of the era. But the album is more than a one-hit wonder: tracks like 'Down in the Silvermine' and 'Alibi' reveal a band equally comfortable with sharp songwriting and infectious grooves. Diesel’s knack for crafting melodic, tightly structured songs gives the record a timeless appeal. 'Watts In A Tank' is a perfect pick for collectors seeking that sweet spot between European cool and American highway rock. This album sits comfortably alongside the likes of The Cars and early Tom Petty, yet retains a distinct personality all its own. For fans of classic rock with a twist, this LP is a true gem—an energetic, road-ready record that never lets up.
