Another heavy, blues-tinted rock album, craftily played, but with not much originality. Some tracks sound like The Free, but with a great distance to that band's intensity. Saunders plays nice interceptions and some able solos, but the lack of something like an own handwriting mars almost every track. Some of the lyrics are examplary for what's wrong here: way down in the valley/ where the green grass grows. How poetically inspired can you get?
It's monday morning in the art departments too. A lackadaisical bandphoto, mirrored around the spine of the gatefold is not our idea of inventive graphics, though the magenta and scarlet of the leaves is at least something.
The lettering is awkwardly placed and of an unfitting font.
The inside picture, taken in Hyde Park, where the band sits beside a very sceptical hippie chick, is very effective, though. It conveys perfectly the London atmosphere in the early seventies.
Notes: This was released in U.S.A. on Cotillion (SD 9074) in 1971
