Although not a proper Spencer Davis Group album, eight of the fourteen songs on the soundtrack to this 1968 British flick (a comedy/drama following the sexual exploits of teenager Jamie McGregor in the 'permissive society') were by the group (most done just after the departure of Stevie Winwood).
There were also three tunes from Traffic, and a nice orchestral-psychedelic oddity from Andy Ellison (lead singer of John's Children).
Heard in isolation from the movie, the album tends to highlight just how important Winwood was to the Spencer Davis Group, whose numbers are bright Carnaby-Street-Pop.
"Waltz for Caroline," which does feature Winwood, is an organ-dominated instrumental that is identical to the cut titled "Waltz for Lumumba" and "Picture of Her" is a ringer for the kind of songs Jack Bruce and Peter Brown wrote for Cream.
Stand-outs are Traffic's more soulful contributions, especially the title track.
