"This is an excellent album recorded prior to the lead singer leaving the group. This album is true BS&T and the only recording of the Rolling Stones song "Sympathy for the Devil" covered by BS&T on any album or CD. Great tunes and memories."
Something you never hear...

"This is probably the oddest Blood, Sweat and Tears I have heard before. Mostly cover songs in the jazz-blues-rock fusion style of BST... one song you know is Lucretia Mac Evil, a BST breakaway hit, as well as Hi-De-Ho. But how many have ever even heard Blood, Sweat and Tears' version of Sympathy For The Devil?
Still a standout album, and definitely worth a listen."
Loved This Album!

"For anyone who really liked this album (in original form), you won't be disappointed. I saw BS&T years ago and this CD brought back lots of happy memories. I have listened to it multiple times without getting sick of it (family may be sick of it, but not me.) I don't think anyone could have done Sympathy for the Devil any better than this group!"
Brings back memories for me

"I listened to this and their 2nd album a lot as a kid, so finally hearing it after all these years probably made me give it 5 stars. But you can't beat those arrangements either! Their take on 'Sympathy for the Devil' is quite interesting. But really David Clayton-Thomas was da man! For a guy who gets real down and dirty on 'Sympathy', so soulful on 'Hi De Ho' he is so tender on 'Lonesome Suzie' and those aren't even my favorite tracks. His falsetto on 'Lucretia' or is it 'Lucretia's Reprise' is just crazy. The band of course do their usual switching from swing to Latin and at times approach the avant garde even. Really enjoying this."
