The British psychedelic band Mighty Baby grew out of the Action, the North London-based R&B 

outfit signed to Parlophone by George Martin in 1965. Long considered one of Martin's 

best discoveries this side of the Beatles, the Action consisted of Reggie King (vocals), 

Alan King (guitar), Pete Watson (guitar), Mike Evans (bass), and Roger Powell (drums). 

After Watson left in 1967, he was succeeded by keyboardist Ian Whiteman 

and blues guitarist Martin Stone, a veteran of the Savoy Brown Blues Band. 

This new lineup evolved beyond the R&B/soul sound that the original Action had played 

and into a top-flight experimental group, incorporating the kinds of long jams and folk/blues influences 

that the West Coast bands were starting to export around the world.

Both Mighty Baby albums are now very rare

 This LP is one of the best bodies of British psychedelia ever released. 

The opening number, "Egyptian Tomb," sets the tone for the entire album -- in terms of content, 

structure, and beat, it sounds like the early Allman Brothers, or maybe the Grateful Dead in one 

of their harder-rocking moments, jamming with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young on an impromptu version 

of CSN's "Pre-Road Downs." The beauty of the original Mighty Baby album tracks is 

that they're psychedelia with a solid beat, none of that noodle-rock that drugged-up Brits usually engaged in. 

"A Friend You Know But Never See" mighthave passed muster on the Byrds' Notorious Byrd Brothers album. 

Other songs noodle around too much, but overall this is some of the most energetic psychedelia 

to come out of England, and anyone who enjoys psychedelic guitar will love 

Martin Stone's and Alan King's work on this album...(AllMusic)
