Classic Album

"With all the changes happening in music in the late '60's this classic was a BIG hit in the U.K. but for a variety of reasons(they liked to be in the studio as opposed to touring, label on verge of bankruptcy) it got buried in the U.S. Great songs, Steve Marriott just before he left to help form Humble Pie with Peter Frampton as the next super group. This release was on the level of some of the great entries in the psychedelic period(Sgt. Pepper, Moby Grape, Cream, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix,). The story line on side 2 is great, in conjunction with some really great songs. Side 1 is no slouch. You miss it, your loss. I re-bought it in every format it's ever been released in...............now they remix it."
Happiness Stan

"This is a prized LP from my comparitive youth, which I had not listened to in a many years. My loss. The "B Side" in particular - Happiness Stan - holds up incredibly well. And the narrative sounds as though it was written by Anthony Burgess himself. As fresh as the day it was recorded."

"I grew up loving my dad's cassette of this. The older I get the more brilliant it sounds."
