CLIMAX CHICAGO/TIGHTLY KNIT SHSP 4015 (-71) UK

 The band's forth album. For more background check post on their third - "A Lot Of Bottle"   https://monolover.blogspot.com/2022/04/climax-chicago-blues-banda-lot-of.html . As that this was recorded at George Martin's Air Studios and produced by Chris Thomas. It might be recieved a somewhat more varied, but the ground formula is mostly the same - dark raw blues rock carried by top guitars and emotional vocals to hard pumping bass and drums. All cuts - except the Robert Johnson cover "Come On In My Kitchen" - penned by the band. These guys really know what they're doing and if you're into such music it all fits (full album below). My favorites here would be the heavier stuff - like "St. Michael's Blues" with some really awesome gutars, the fierce "Shoot Her If She Runs" and the cover of "Come On In My Kitchen". Issued and reissued all over the world on vinyl and CD through the years, also US 8-track and cassette. First US and Canadian on  Sire (SI 5903). UK 2013 CD on Esoteric Recordings (ECLEC 2385) came with three live tracks as bonus. Premiere UK had label as shown here in a matt flip/back cover.  (HÄVL*)
