Reviews :
« Recorded in London in January 1968 with three members of the early lineup of Fleetwood Mac (the one that played blues, not pop/rock): Peter Green (guitar), John McVie (bass), and Mick Fleetwood (drums). It's an adequate setting for Boyd's straight Chicago piano blues, going heavier on the slow-to-mid-tempo numbers than the high-spirited ones, though Green is a far more sympathetic accompanist than the rhythm section. » AllMusic Review by Richie Unterberger
This album is a must own for the sound quality alone. It was recorded “live” in the studio, straight to stereo without any overdubs or post mixing.
The original Blue Horizon issue LP was for some peculiar reason issued as mono although the master tapes are stereo. This is it’s first issue on stereo vinyl.
The music in the grooves is equal to the sound with Peter Green playing at his usual impeccable best behind Eddie Boyd’s solid piano and vocals.
