From 1969 up to now releasing twentyfour original studio albums, eighteen lives and thirtythree singles through a number of different styles and settings. I was an early fan and to me their first four LP:s are the best they made, especially "Salisbury" and "Look At Yourself". Friends nag me that has to do with my musical taste coagulated around 1972 thus made it impossible for me to enjoy most of the new stuff emerging later. Probably so and in this case I simply feel more at home with the early stuff where you can hear echoes from the members past and especially the two eminent psych/prog bands The Gods and Toe Fat (see earlier posts). Six of the ten tracks on this compilation are from that period, including two of my favorites - "Bird Of Prey" and "July Morning" (with some primitive moog play from guesting Manfred Mann). Two of the cuts are single edits - "Gypsy" 2:45 edit in comparison to album version 6.37 and "Stealin" clocks in at 3.17 instead of album 4.49. The rest are album versions. Audio is very good and it's truly recommend to group beginners or those who remains stuck in the band's later hard rock clone. Early releases all over the world, but not in US. Permiere UK had label as shown here with ILPS number and "i" logo, matt cover and glossy ad inner. (ÄHÅR*)(ÖRHÄ*)(PRÖZ*)
