Their debute LP and the first in an album trilogy that together, to my taste, constitutes one of the better British blues/rock offerings of the period. (For more also check post on their second - "Lie Back And Enjoy It" https://monolover.blogspot.com/2020/06/juicy-lucylie-back-and-enjoy-it-6360_30.html - and third - Get A Whiff A This" https://monolover.blogspot.com/2013/01/juicy-lucyget-whiff-this-ilps-9157-71.html .) Heavy and tight with top guitars, rough vocals and lots of catchy moments, certainly dirty enough to attract your inner pig...if you got one of those. This is the rawest of the three, musically with firm roots in the American south. Swamp blues, no doubt having inspiration from Captain Beefheart and Dr. John, but living its own life in the UK. Taking off with the self-penned blossoming "Mississippi Woman", then a furious "Who do You Love" cover, over the messy and heavy "She's Yours She's Mine" blues and after a couple of more pearls ending up with the mystic "Are You Satisfied?", which hovers in the same area as "Gris-Gris". The audio on this UK press is great - big and strong with fine separation. Issued and reissued on vinyl and CD all over the world through the years, also 8-track and cassette. First US on ATCO (SD 33-325) had a fruitier, but less nude sleeve design. US 1997 CD on One Way Records (OW 34433) came with two bonus tracks. Premiere UK had label as shown here with larger B-side swirl and "A Philips Record Product" in a matt fold/out cover with swirl inner. (WLÖ*)
