FANTASTIC FIND! 100% absolute original pressing in thick textured cover with custom art slip-sheet:
STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY CELLOPHANE and MINT!

One of the best Traffic "underground" albums that few collectors had the opportunity to find, given the limited selected distribution of the famous "Kornyphone" record label.

........................................................................................................ Quite simply rivals as the *best* TRAFFIC album; a superb 1970 LONDON performance frozen in vinyl and unavailable for many years. This is the original Kornyphone pressing issued in the mid '70s and in TOP MINT condition!  ( Up there or better than their 'regular' album  releases.) ........................................................................................................

"On By the Way" which documents a rather magical 1970 performance in London is for one, amazing in the outstanding clear and vibrant sound quality by way of first generation tape direct from the mixing soundboard. Among vinyl collectors, this LP has a fine reputation -- and deservedly so. Again, the sound quality is excellent, and Traffic are in top form on gems that range from the classic "John Barleycorn" and the moody, jazz-influenced "No Time to Live" to the funky blue-eyed soul ditty "Medicated Goo." Equally strong are Traffic's inspired performances of "Pearly Queen," "Who Knows What Tomorrow May Bring?" and "Empty Pages." Boasting Stevie Winwood on vocals and guitar, Jim Capaldi on percussion and keyboards, and Chris Wood on bass, sax, and flute; "On, By the Way" is a rarity that "Traffic" collectors go out of their way to search for - and have since the '70s.
