One of the very best Australian Albums of all time . A huge influence on many bands . Well recorded absolute gem!

Among the forefront of Aussie progressive blues bands of the 70’s. This is their crowning glory - a landmark recording in Oz music history that influenced the direction of blues & roots performers here since. FAT! -
There is also a misprinted LP version where the picture inside the gatefold is reversed image with Matt Taylor on the left hand side cover.
I have both on LP.
This is one of Australia's finest blues album of all time. With their monster hit "Black & Blue" -
