Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking their first of many number-one albums in the UK, the veteran rockers perfected their unpretentious, heads-down boogie format. Stripped entirely of their earlier psychedelic leanings, the relentless, twelve-bar riffing and driving rhythm section laid down the definitive, enduring blueprint for British denim-rock.
