Blues-rockers Juicy Lucy formed in 1969 from the ashes of cult-favorite garage band the Misunderstood, reuniting vocalist Ray Owen, steel guitarist Glenn "Ross" Campbell and keyboardist Chris Mercer; with the additions of guitarist Neil Hubbard, bassist Keith Ellis and drummer Pete Dobson, the group immediately notched a UK Top 20 hit with their reading of the Bo Diddley perennial "Who Do You Love”.
"Get A Whiff Of This" was Juicy Lucy's third album in 18 months, and the third to draw as much attention for its artwork as its contents, would prove to be the band's last. Although a fourth Juicy Lucy album would appear in 1972, not a single founding member was left on board.
Get a Whiff of This itself was very much the son of its predecessor, still locked firmly into a country groove (the twanging "Mr. A. Jones," the fast-pickin' "Jessica"), but looking out toward more unexpected pastures. The funky "Big Lil." and the blistering antiwar anthem "Midnight Sun" were both strong inclusions, while a take on the Allmans' "Midnight Rider" remains one of that particular anthem's most dynamic revisions.

LABELS: MINT
An immaculate set of labels - no discernible spindle traces
VINYL Visual: MINT
Both surfaces are unmarked and shine like-new
VINYL Audio: MINT
My play-check at volume found nothing to fault this previously unplayed copy - flawless playback throughout
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Actually a really fine example of this cover seemingly designed to self-destruct (being so thin, soft and textured) - good and solid - no structural damage - just natural storage marks to the surfaces but the edges and ‘pinched’ spine show very little wear
