Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by the influential Peter Eden, this sole release by the British heavy blues quartet is a masterclass in aggressive, distortion-laden hard rock. Showcasing Bob Weston's fiery guitar heroics before his tenure in Fleetwood Mac, the record emphasizes extended jamming and raw vocal power over commercial conciseness. Although overlooked upon release, it embodies the visceral transition from late-sixties blues booms to early heavy metal.
