(For more on Dunbar's other collaborations and the group, check post on their debute.) To my taste one of the better British blues bands, but always in the shadow of major acts like John Mayall and Fleetwood Mac. This was the second of four original LP:s. Although Dunbar was the big name at the time, the whole thing is carried by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Victor Brox. Both Jimi Hendrix and Tina Turner fancied him as the best white blues singer back then. He worked alongside many big acts like Clapton, Charles Mingus, Mayall, Alexis Korner and Graham Bond and did the voice of Caiaphas in the original recording of Jesus Christ Superstar https://monolover.blogspot.com/2022/08/jesus-christ-superstar-mkps-201112-70-uk.html . One of the great British blues performers, still sadly unknown to most. His vocals and keyboards makes the whole album - the dark soft voice and melodic flowing organ gives it a gloomy, almost gothic atmosphere wich grabs me every time. Produced by Ian Samwell (1937-2003) who also worked with Cliff Richard, Frank Zappa, Gratetful Dead, Small Faces and Joni Mitchell among others. I don't know anything about how it was made, but this sure sounds like a true mono mix. You get the impression every song is mixed separately and they all sound great. In fact "Till Your Loving Makes Me Blue" is one of the best mono reproductions I've ever heard. Full album below (in stereo). First US on Blue Thumb (BTS 6) had different back cover pic. US CD release on MCA (MCAD-22102). Premiere UK had label as shown here in a laminated cover. (YMÖ*) ((XLÄ*)
