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

This was the debut album for Smokie, an English quartet who were a pet project for legendary English pop producers Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. Although their unique blend of country-rock and pop would soon make Smokie a big success in Europe, their style comes off as tentative and unfocused on Pass It Around. The group's instrumental performance is tight and their Beach Boys-meet-Sweet vocal harmonies are quite pleasing to the ear but their songwriting abilities are not up to snuff.

Talk about Smokey - Pass It Around


Zolorn
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 succeed in the BBC Radio 1 playlist. The problem was playlist controllers who thought that ambiguous lyrics might be expounded to be a reference to smoking marijuana. As a result, the single flopped to reach the UK Top 50.In order to promote Pass It Around, Smokie extensively tour Britain starting on 24 April 1975 as support act to Pilot, who scored a UK #1 hit with "January". Despite all the promotion activity, neither album nor single managed to chart in the UK.
