Review: The transition from Over The Green Hills Part 1 to Worry at the start of side 1 is one of the most captivating and compelling introductions to a progressive rock album ever recorded and a high point for every enthusiast. One of the most important and creative rock groups to emerge from the 60’s these guys were packed with talent. Paul Rodgers is one of the best vocalists I have ever heard combining blues, soul and rock in one incredible voice while Kossof, Kirke, Fraser were masters in their own disciplines. Sometimes when I listen to this album I have to remind myself that this sensational sound is being produced by just three instruments and one vocalist - absolutely amazing. This is a genuinely outstanding example of one of the finest progressive rock albums ever made.
