The RARE MONO relese offers different song mixes as well as a bold punchy production, much different from the stereo issue !

The Spencer Davis Group, the exciting swinging sounds of mid-1960s British beat rock from Birmingham, England, was formed by Spencer Davis with Steve Winwood and his brother Muff Winwood. Their three best known songs are "Keep On Running", a number one in the UK Singles Chart and "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm a Man" both top chart hits as well.....

Upon touring Europe, the group found themselves popular - particularly in Germany where Spencers' fluent use of the language endeared them to the audiences. The follow-up single Somebody Help Me, was not as strong as the previous but still gained another No. 1 position and a Steve Winwood composition released as the group's next A-side, When I Come Home, managed to reach the No. 12 spot.

For the next single release the group was pressured by Chris Blackwell to come up with their own material, the result of which was probably largely inspired by Steve Winwood's efforts on his Hammond organ. Gimme Some Loving became an instant classic - reaching No. 2 in the British charts and also gaining much attention in the USA. To this day it remains probably the most instantly recognizable song by the group (note: the record was re-mixed to include extra keys and vocal backing before getting released in the USA).

Steve Winwood's growing confidence as performer and songwriter was leading to his dissatisfaction within the group and he began to associate more with other musicians, particularly Dave Mason and Jim Capaldi who was in a Midlands group called Deep Feeling and Chris Wood from the Birmingham band Locomotive. By early 1967, it was clear to most that Steve Winwood had outgrown the Spencer Davis Group and encouraged by Chris Blackwell, he made known his intention to leave after the groups' current tour commitments had been fulfilled. Thus the band Traffic was born.
