While The 'Beano' album and 'A Hard Road' will probably always be my favourite John Mayall albums I think this one will have a good chance of claiming 3rd place. Mick Taylor is on top notch form and his playing is excellent, with a good choice of blues material by Mayall. I previously had much of this material on two vinyl compilations The World Of John Mayall Vols 1 & 2, so it's great now to be able to listen to this in the car, without the crackles :)

The CD is excellent value for money and includes a lot of extra tracks. This was the third consecutive Bluesbreakers album to include a future guitar great. When the album was recorded few would have expected Mick Taylor to join the Rolling Stones a few months later. This is a very good blues album. The horns add a very slight touch of jazz to proceedings. The only downside is the vocals; John Mayall is a very talented musician but he's not a very good vocalist. This is a good album which is a very good showcase for all the musicians involved.

I bought this when it came out on vinyl, still play it, still love it. Early Mayall with Mick Taylor, John McVie, Keef Hartley, Chris Mercer, and Rip Kant. It's the post Greeny line up and maintains the standard set by the Bluesbreakers and Hard Road albums, so, three of the finest Mayall albums ever. Stand out track must be 'The Death of J.B. Lenoir'. When the album came out few people in the UK would have heard of J.B.Lenoir and for me that pin points one of the major achievements of John Mayall. He opened eyes, ears, and doors to the pop fed youth of the mid 60's, so for that, and another great album, this 60 something bloke is so very grateful. 40 years on the Blues still resonates in the UK thanks to the likes of John Mayall, and of course Alexis Korner (just had to get that name in).
Wonderful value, great album !
