Back in 2015, I wrote the following scratch off review:
The album that answers the all important question: What would have Deep Purple sounded like if they were on the Brain label? About as good as it gets for the early 70s hard rock style!

To be honest, not much else to be said really. Conny Plank does his thing in the studio, and definitely adds the Krautrock touch. But otherwise this is a blistering set of tunes, much heavier and kinetic than almost any band from this era. And that's some serious competition it's blowing away. Essential for the hard rock genre.
Ownership: LP: 1976 Polydor. Single sleeve. Recent acquisition from JL (2023). I originally bought this LP (same version) at Bananas in St. Petersburg, Florida while there on business in 1996. I sold it off after getting the CD, but this album is too good not to have an original of (close enough).

CD: 1997 Second Battle. Digipak with no info and a 1997 Second Battle catalog. Keeping this as the music is first division.
