"The first time I heard SECOND WIND was in 1972 and I was simply blown away.
34 years later, hearing the same album again and getting blown the same old way.
SECOND WIND is a combination of Jazz, Rock and pop music mixed in different songs. You've got to hear it to believe it.
SECOND WIND is Brian Auger's third release with his new band called OBLIVION EXPRESS.
Auger on Organ, Jim Mullen on Guitar, and Barry Dean on Bass; Accompanied on vocal by Alex Ligertwood for this single release who delivered a spectacular sound, adding an excellent touch to all 6 tracks of this album. (this release has 1 additional tracks which does not exist on the copy I own)
If you are into Rock, Jazz and fusion this album will be a rare find and a real treat.
I personally own all Brian Auger's albums however, If you hear and enjoy SECOND WIND, my second recommendation for the the same artist would be VOICES OF OTHER TIMES.
Another recommendation: Tony williams; "The Collection"
"
Onore al merito.....

"...erano anni che non riascoltavo Auger...esattamente una ventina o forse piu'.
Che musica,...e che organista!!!
Alla pari di Emerson, Wakeman ed altri tanto osannati.
Ascoltare anche la qualita' di "A better land ".
Bravo Brian,...e ci vediamo sul lago di Como questa estate per un altro concerto.
Andrea dall'Italia."

"Amazon continues to never cease to amaze me at their lack of attention to detail. The product information states "Japanese reissue features a total of 7 tracks packaged in a miniature LP sleeve. WHD" but hen goes on to list only the basic six tracks of the disc. The 7th track is "Freedom Jazz Dance (live in Paris, 1971) [Bonus Track]". C'mon Amazon, pay attention!"
