To my taste their last five star album was "Looking In". After that Kim Simmonds remained the only original member and had to recruit a whole new group to carry the name. It turned out very lucrative with better sales on both sides of the Atlantic, but even if they continued in the same hard blues genre something had changed and I went from being hard core fan to just OK them. The magic I'd felt all the way up to then was partly gone. I still bought the albums and listened, but without being astonished. Like with this one. Heavy blues, very well performed with good guitars, conveyed by tophole production and audio. Listening now while writing and even if not 100% caught I get a feeling...nothing for shy love meetings, but may do it for beer drenched man talk when the party is over. So dirty enough for us who like such, but not magnetic enough to make me sing and dance. 1973 issues in US and Canada (Parrot XPAS 71059), Germany and Downunder, also as US reel and 8-track and UK cassette. Japan 2017 CD on Decca (UICY-78593). Premiere UK had label as shown here in a laminated fold/out cover with blue box stereo inner. (SÄVX*)
