This album is really an album released after Traffic split in late 1968. Mason left the band after the release of the "Traffic" album. They still released some singles in late 1968, some of which are included in this album. When Winwood left, the band split. He joined Blind Faith, while Capaldi and Wood joined Mason and keyboardist Mick Weaver (a.k.a. Wynder K. Frog) in a band which lasted for only three months between Janauary and March 1969, called "Wooden Frog", and a.k.a. "Mason, Capaldi,Wood, Frog", which played some gigs and did several Radio appearances in England. This "Last Exit" album was released in May 1969, at the time when the Blind Faith band was announced. This album is really a collection of never before songs & different versions Alive @ Fillmore West 1968... compiled and released by Island Records. About the Songs: "Just for You" (composed by Mason) was originally released in February 1968 as the B side of one of Dave Mason`s soloist singles (called "Little Woman"). This B side has the rest of the members of Traffic as a backing band. There is a very good bass part, maybe played by Winwood, and it is a song with very good arrangements which also include a string arrangement. "Shangai Noodle Factory" (the L.P. label says that it was composed by Winwood/Capaldi/Wood, but the management says that it was composed by Winwood/Capaldi/Wood/Miller/Fallon!) it`s one of the BEST songs from this album, with very good arrangements, very good vocals by Winwood, and a bit of bass pedals played by him. It was previously released as the B side of the single "Medicated Goo" (Winwood/Miller) in December 1968. "Medicated Goo" is also a good song with good lead guitars."Withering Tree" (Winwood/Capaldi) was previously released as the B side of the "Feeling Alright" single which was released in September 1968. It is a bit "dark" song, but it is also good. There is also an instrumental piece, previously unreleased, called "Something`s Got a Hold of my Toe" (Mason/Winwood/Miller), with melodies played by electric guitars, with some organ, good bass guitar, and drums. The Side Two of the L.P. has two songs recorded live at the Filmore West auditorium in San Franciso, U.S., in 1968. Traffic never toured in the U.S. with Dave Mason betwen 1968 and 1969,  so the U.S. never knew Traffic as a quartet in concerts at that time -- this live recording then features only Winwood (vocals, organ, bass pedals), Chris Wood (flute, sax, percussion) and Jim Capaldi (drums). It must have been very hard to play some songs in concerts with the lack of more instruments! These songs, two covers ("Feelin`Good" and "Blind Man"), are more or less well played, with improvistation - they're with good solos!

1. Just for You (2:18)
