Fantastic =mint= final collection copy!

This IS a 30+ years ago very scare British-only issue from the original master tapes which were officially obtained from UK Columbia... hooking together BOTH albums by this legendary group dating back to 1965 and 1966 respectively.
Cover art designs for both LP's by GINGER BAKER.
The Graham Bond Organization is famous more for spawning two-thirds of Cream, than for their own accomplishments, at least in the US where it has been virtually impossible to get their two famous '60s UK-only albums. Both '65 and '66 albums are here - 4 LP sides showing this unit to be great musicians with absolutely no desire for playing it safe or going commercial. Their hard-driving, r&b sound is truly unique. The material is great - and what comes through consistently is the sheer energy of this group and the virtuosity of the players. Bond, himself, is a true whiz on the organ - delivering some of the most powerful and nimble keyboard playing you will ever hear on a '60s UK "beatrock" music recording.

Ginger Baker's presence is very much in evidence throughout. Dick Heckstall-Smith, who went on to a long career playing with Jack Bruce and Colleseum, throws jazz licks into a rock environment with inspired results. And Jack, who is quite prominent on back-up vocals, plays a steady and imaginative bass. Many should be interested as a Cream fans, but don't be surprised if you finding yourself playing it constantly, enjoying - most of the four sides of material found throughout both of these albums - very much!
And the 'fan-man' says:

"This is great stuff, rather jazzier than most British R&B 'beatrock' at the time. The Organization has an unusual sound since there is no guitarist on hand. Bond and Dick Heckstall-Smith make one hell of a front line, and of course the rhythm section of Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker are as expected phenomenal. In a way it's surprising that Bond doesn't make more use of Jack's fine singing voice, but Bond is a good singer in a rather style openly imitative of Ray Charles (who is pretty obviously the main influence on this music). Graham Bond was a fine talent who unfortunately never found much commercial success and died too young. Fans of the British R&B and 'beat-rock' scene of the '60s should not pass these LP's by."
