Young Men Gone West is the third album by British band City Boy. It was released in 1977 on Vertigo Records in Europe and on Mercury Records in the United States and Canada.




Critical reception



The New Rolling Stone Record Guide wrote that the album "provided the group's finest, liveliest playing and writing, and made tentative steps toward a unique style."
In his regular reviews for Truck & Driver magazine, starting a four of five star review, Shaun Connors wrote, "City Boy are probably most known for their 1978 Top 10 single 5.7.0.5. and little else, but there is so much more to this Midlands 1970s proggy-poprock outfit than the one-hit wonder status they are so unfairly labelled with... As two double-CDs, the first four of seven City Boy albums have been reissued by Cherry Red, this offering by far the most accomplished and listenable of the two."
