The original album was recorded shortly after Trower left the iconic Procol HarumFind albums by this artist, and was produced by Procol Harum keyboardist Matthew FisherFind albums by this artist. CD1 presents the original album with nine tracks. CD2 presents eight tracks, one of which is a single B-side, three are alternate mixes and four are live BBC recordings. Most of the songs were co-written by Trower and Dewar. All the tracks were newly remastered. Departing from Procol Harum unleashed the strong Blues affinity in Trower’s music, which would be his most significant musical influence, and which would dominate his solo career, which continues to this very day with dozens of highly successful recordings as a solo artist. His incredible guitar playing would become his trademark and mark him as one of the greatest British Blues-Rock guitarist in all time. Overall, this a nice reminder of this classic album released originally fifty years earlier, with some additional new material, which should make all Trower fans happy. More 50th Anniversary reissues are imminent.
