I had forgotten how great this album really is. For 1969 this is quite the heavy album. Great organ and guitar throughout. I had it classified with the progressive rock collection, but really it belongs to hard rock in the same sense that Deep Purple belongs there. And I like the raw vocals too, they go with the style.
Ownership: CD: 2003 Akarma (Italy). There are better reissues than this (2007 Ork version it would appear), but it gets the job done. And it does have, as bonus tracks, the rare 45 that contained two more great songs left off the album proper, and are very similar. The CD is housed in one of their Karma Paks, which are like stiff cardboard gatefolds - hardly Japanese mini-LP quality. No useful info otherwise. I've limped along with it for many years, but should upgrade. Would love an original LP here, but that's a tough ask, especially if you want one that isn't trashed.
