"This is a pearl of a record. A Jools record. This is no simulacrum. This is the real thing. Twenty one clean sounding tracks from a gone-by unforgettable era. Julie's soaring voice reigns supreme along the contagious Hammond B3 textures crafted by the artistry of Brian Auger. The band is up to par.
Two obscure, but very good Julie solo recordings kickstart seventy eight minutes of listening pleasure. We are treated to seven well chosen picks from the Trinity's "Open" LP (including the top 5 hit, Bob Dylan penned "This wheels's on fire"), six from "Streetnoise" (including "Save the country" by the late great Laura Nyro), the rivetting "Road to Cairo", and even a taster of Julie's own "1969" LP, represented by the two closing tracks.
Seldom can a compilation be so satisfactory. A must-have to anyone even vaguely interested in the high spirits and creativity of late sixties Swinging London music scene.
What are you waiting for? Order it! I mean NOW."
