For our newest take on the sound of the various labels and stampers for Mr. Fantasy, please click here.
This British Sunray Label pressing has THE BEST SOUND I’VE EVER HEARD FOR THIS ALBUM!
None of the Pink Label originals that we played had the deep, powerful, punchy bass that this pressing has, coupled with an extended, sweet top end.
This is one of the best sounding Traffic records ever made. Musically it’s hit or miss, but so is every other Traffic record, including my favorite, John Barleycorn. The best songs here are Heaven Is In Your Mind, Dear Mr. Fantasy, and Coloured Rain.
The first of these is worth the price of the album alone, in my opinion. It’s a wonderful example of late-60s British psychedelic rock.
