Description
This is the original 1971 UK issue with the pink rim Island label, the Traffic symbol on the label and the A-2U B-1U matrices & 1-G/1-R stampers of the earliest first pressings.
The fifth Traffic album released in September 1971 and recorded live in London over two nights in June & July by Steve Winwood, Chris Wood, Ric Grech, Dave Mason, Jim Gordon, Kwaku Baat and Jim Capaldi. After the first dissolution of the band in 1968 Steve Winwood had joined Blind Faith in 1969 and then joined Ginger Baker in Airforce for their first live album and a brief tour. He then quit in January 1970 to start a solo album and by February had called in his old band mates and Traffic MK II was born. By mid-1971 Dave Mason had also rejoined to play live with the band and played six gigs before quitting again. The album was a flop in the UK, but was a success in the USA, this persuaded the band to continue and record a new album in late 1971.
The UK printed fully laminated sleeve is intact & in EX condition, with some light corner/edge wear and some light laminate rubbing on the outer cover. The pinched widespine is intact and fully readable, the plain blue Island inner is intact, but is creased with some edge damage and in VG+ condition.
Overall, just a really great, loud and lively listen.
The matrix nos. are; ILPS-9166, A-2U stamper 1-G, B-1U stamper 1-R. This is one of the very early copies of the 1st press of the original 1971 UK stereo issue of this album!
