Active compensatory factors: I picked this up because of the Ginger Baker connection. He plays drums for Masters Of Reality - but, in reality, only this album.

He is masterful. We get a different side of him on this album. Take a listen to She Got Me - superb! I can't remember when he sounded this onto it.
As for the band (yay! A power trio) - I love Chris Goss' vocals and guitars on these songs. He has a variety of voices that he uses to his (and the song's) advantage.
The songs are quite mellow and varied. Ginger even gets a vocal (spoken thankfully) on T.U.S.A. - mildly (for him) complaining about the inability of Americans to make tea properly (Pour boiling water over the tea/How simple and clear/Can the instructions be?). A hoot!
Where do they all belong? Tempted to try more from this band, but this was the only album with Ginger on it.
