For more on band members and background please check post on their second LP "Stone Dirt" https://monolover.blogspot.com/2020/04/dirty-blues-band-featuring-rod.html and/or the rear cover notes below. Listening to this debute now I get a rather lovely white blues album, performed by six guys then between 18 and 21 years old. Maybe not absolute top of the genre, but pleasant enough with a fair share of warm flowing organ, very good guitars and some estimable harmonica. It's tight and direct with a garage feeling and you never for a second doubt the honesty. Also the audio on this UK is top notch - big and clear - so it's good listening all the way. I always liked to be nuzzled by sweet chunks of organ, so my favorites here are some of those with that - "What Is Soul, Babe?", "Chicken Shack" and "Shake It Babe". 1967 premiere releases in US and Canada on Bluesway (BLS 6010) plus US mono promo (BL 6010). 1968 issue also in South Africa (Bluesway ABC 102). Never heard the UK mono, so not sure if that's from the US promo or a fold. As this stereo is compatible it could be either way. First UK had label as shown here in a laminated flip/back cover.
