Of the numerous British blues-rock bands to spring up in the late '60s, the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation 

was one of the better known, though solid reception on tours did not translate into heavy record sales. 

Musically, the group recalled John Mayall's Bluesbreakers during the 1966-1967 era 

that had produced that group's A Hard Road album, though with a somewhat more downbeat tone. 

The similarities were hardly coincidental, as the band's founder and leader, drummer Aynsley Dunbar, 

had been in the Bluesbreakers lineup that recorded the A Hard Road LP. 

Too, bassist Alex Dmochowski would go on to play with Mayall in the 1970s, and guitarist Jon Morshead 

was friendly with fellow axeman Peter Green (also in the Bluesbreakers' A Hard Road lineup), 

whom he had replaced in Shotgun Express

The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation's second album was much the same as their first, offering competent 

late-'60s British blues, given a slightly darker cast than was usual for the style via Victor Brox's somber vocals. 

Like their debut, it was dominated by original material, and as on its predecessor, the compositions 

were rather routine blues-rock numbers, though they benefited from arrangements by highly skilled players. 

The best of these tracks were the ones that utilized Brox's gloomy, almost gothic organ, 

if only because it made them stand out more among the company of the many similar bands 

recording in the prime of the British blues boom...(AllMusic)
