Genre: British pop/rock
Places I remember: JB Hi-Fi Palmerston North. It's taken me a long time to buy a copy of this classic album. 50 years in fact! I'm not too sure why. Anyhow, this is a reissue on prime vinyl and it's pretty amazing in its quality. So - worth the wait!
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Presence Of The Lord
Gear costume: Well All Right
Active compensatory factors: Their only album with the front cover that has had a lot of press in itself, because even in 1969, and more obviously in 2021, it's wildly inappropriate. However the back cover is also very much of its time - all four superstar members are holding cigarettes!! Shock horror!
The music? Well that's actually pretty damn good still! Of course it is - this is Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton we're talking about! Even messed up on various drugs, including heroin, they can out play nearly everyone else on the planet.
That's shocking to realise!
Where do they all belong? One album is all they produced before flaming out, but it's a corker. Still.
