THIRD LP BY KEITH. HIS FIRST LP " STIMULUS " FEATURED MIGHTY BABY AS THE BACKING BAND. THIS WAS RELEASED ON THE RCA VICTOR LABEL IN 1969 AND IS NOW HIS RAREST ALBUM. THE NEXT LP - " FABLE OF THE WINGS " SAW A MOVE TO THE B & C LABEL BASED IN SOHO SQUARE, LONDON. THEY STAYED WITH B & C FOR THIS, HIS THIRD LP WHICH IN MY OPINION IS HIS BEST !!!
