A nice early repress of the 1968 album from Taj Mahal.
It is a US Columbia pressing. Red label with yellow text around rim and black text in centre. The contrast on my label photos is a bit wonky!
Has track 4, side 2, 'A Lot Of Love' listed on back cover, but 'Ain't That A Lot Of Love' on label.
The Natch'l Blues is the second studio album by American blues artist Taj Mahal, released in 1968.
