MINTY CLEAN VINYL !!!

SCARCE sought after blues rock album produced by the legendary Mike Vernon (Blue Horizon label producer) Original 1969 first pressing in thick gatefold cover...

A fantastic blues-rock Lp! Martha Valez's vocal is powerful and suites perfectly with the music. The album comes highly recommended & collectable with such an all-star supporting cast:

Brian Auger - organ (Brian Auger & Trinity)
Jack Bruce - bass (Cream)
Jim Capaldi - drums (Traffic)
Eric Clapton - guitar
Paul Kossoff - guitar (Free)
Christine McVie - keyboards (Chicken Shack, Fleetwood Mac)
Mitch Mitchell - drums (Jimi Hendrix Experience)
and others
   

How could you go wrong with Eric Clapton, Stan Webb (of "Chicken Shack") and Paul Kossoff("Free") on guitar? Add to that Jack Bruce("Cream") on bass, Brian Auger ("Trinity") on organ, Christine McVie ("Chicken Shack" & "Fleetwood Mac") on keyboards, Jim Capaldi ("Traffic") and Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix Experience) on drums, plus the rhythm section from Chicken Shack, and the great Duster Bennett on harmonica...


Combining several originals with a number of well-known tracks made this a great if unknown album. Velez's voice is similar to Janis Joplin with just a touch of Julie Driscoll. As has been mentioned previously, the sound is straight out of the late sixties-a slight blending of instruments and voice that makes for a good,naturally warm sound. As expected,the quality of the backing band is great and helps place this album above the average run of the mill release. On various tracks its easy to hear which guitarist is playing,and while there are no long solos,the arrangements are excellent throughout! Such a "constellation cast" (and playing especially well in this record), would be enough to recommend this LP . Good, raunchy blues sung with so much feeling ...Martha's undeniable great singing and Mike Vernon's production do the rest.
