The burning question remains: Can blue men sing the whites?, and though they occasionally have proven they can, mostly they can't and that's what we got here. Guitarist Moody surely is a bonus, but singer Williams is not and the choice of repertoire is thoroughly conservative. Except, of course, for the unexpected Zappa track, but unfortunately they make it sound like everything else. Most remarkable feat here must be the inclusion of two tracks that are exactly 7 minutes and 8 seconds long. How did they achieve that??
Another leap into the realm of complictated packaging is executed with this cover. It is a large six-part folding piece of board. All six band members are kept for eternity through excellent portrait photographs of the men at work.
The lettering is indeed quite juicy and rather original.
The inside of the enormous cover is taken by an outstanding live shot of the band.
A cassette release in Britain has been confirmed, the catalogue number is 7138 014.
Notes: This was issued in the USA on Atco (SD 33-345) in 1970.
