The debut album from this British band.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, percussion, sax, flute, organ, mellotron, harpsichord, piano, sitar, guitars, tamboura, harmonica and vocals.
The band had help from some well known backing vocalists too.
This band launched Steve Winwood and Jim Capaldi's careers. Together with Dave Mason and Chris Wood, they were Traffic.
I have got a box of their albums and will review their albums this summer. Something I have been looking forward to for a long time.
This album was re-released in USA as Heaven Is In Your Mind the year after the UK & Europe release. Just to keep this in mind.
The music on this album is an eclectic mix of folk hall variety music, beat, avant-garde rock, blues, jazz and folk rock.
It is a strange album in today's standards. They do not release albums like this these days....
Some of the music sounds like a riot in a mental asylum. But there is some good songs here and this is indeed an interesting album with interesting ideas.
It certainly put the band on the map. It is a decent to good album too and well worth checking out.
