The third release by Kim Simmonds and company, but the first to feature the most memorable lineup of the group: Simmonds, "Lonesome" Dave Peverett, Tony "Tone" Stevens, Roger Earl, and charismatic singer Chris Youlden.
This one serves up a nice mixture of blues covers and originals, with the first side devoted to studio cuts and the second a live club date recording.
Certainly the standout track, indeed a signature song by the band, is the tour de force "Train to Nowhere," with its patient, insistent buildup and pounding train-whistle climax.
Additionally, David Anstey's detailed, imaginative sleeve art further boosts this a notch above most other British blues bands of the time

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, unmarked labels with just a few light spindle traces - seen little use
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
Both surfaces shine like new with nothing but a couple of inconsequential light marks
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
My play-check at volume found little to fault - superb sound quality - a touch of low-level surface noted on some of the quietest moments - nothing really - great copy
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Some light marks to the white back and creases to the spine but otherwise clean and solid with all spine text is clear and bold - fine example
