For background on this also check my post on their self-titled debute. This second LP continues on the same path as treaded on the first - blues/jazz progressive with strong melodies and top class performance. Maybe a little jazzier than the first and somewhat more experimental, but still consistant throughout. Producer credit "Fritz (as it comes) Fryer" says something about how it was made. Very strong tracks - "Supposed To Be Free" and "Passing Through" are among the best they made and the sixteen minute blues suite "Another Travelling Tune" , carried by an alluring riff, is a true killer. Like previous album it didn't do well commercially, but for their next - "Mountains" - they would move more towards rock and higher sales. This album is one of those forgotten gems waiting to be re-discovered by fans of white blues and prog. First UK issue with thin unlaminated cover and "SBPG" prefix on matrixes. Don't know if there was any original US release, but it was issued on Canadian Epic 1969 (BN26552) and Bellaphon in Germany 1976 (BPU 14012).
