- Stunning sound throughout for this very well recorded proggy album, with each side rating a solid Double (A++) Plus
- These early UK pressed sides are are full of the kinid of Tubey Magic that makes us (and other right-thinking audiophiles) swoon – thanks Brian Humphries!
- If you like early King Crimson – they were in the band don’t you know – you will surely get a big kick out of this one-of-a-kind sleeper from 1970
- “The main attraction is really the performances turned in by McDonald and the Giles brothers — they all sound fabulous…” – All Music
Brian Humphries engineered the album, and although you may not be all that familiar with his name, if you’re an audiophile you know his work well. Take a gander at this group:
Traffic – John Barleycorn Must Die
Black Sabbath – Paranoid
Traffic – The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys
Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here
Two are of course on our Top 100 Rock and Pop List, and all four — five if you count McDonald And Giles — qualify as State of the Art Rock Recordings from the era.
