A Million Vacations contains the fourth moon tune, Moon Voices, which is an instrumental piece. Incidentally, the title track -- A Million Vacations -- is not sung by Kim Mitchell. Instead, Gary McCracken (the drummer) takes over, which makes sense, because he co-wrote the track with Pye Dubois.
Terry Watkinson sings lead on two tracks, Charmonium and Let Go the Line. In fact, Watkinson wrote two tracks and co-wrote another with Pye Dubois, sung by Mitchell. And then he left the band. I find that weird, since he wrote Let Go the Line, the best song on the record, and one of the band's best known and most enduring track.
Paradise Skies is arguably the band's biggest hit, even making it onto the UK charts. Although this record moved a bit into commercial territory, the last two tracks reclaim the earlier weirdness of the band.
Here is part of Let Go the Line:
