"THE LOW SPARK OF HIGH HEELED BOYS"

Released: 1971 

Remarks : Between Mr. Fantasy in 1968 and Low Spark in 1971, Traffic sounds like a different band. Early on, Dave Mason's pop songwriting had offered a counterpoint to Steve Winwood's psychedelic rock. And while Mason re-joined the band for several live dates that served as the basis of Welcome to the Canteen in 1971, he was gone again by the time Low Spark was cut. Even Winwood's songwriting changed radically over the 3 - year period. He had always enjoyed opening up the middle of a piece like "Mr. Fantasy" to an extended jam, but usually kept a song under the four-minute mark. As the '60s turned into the '70s, however, he began to insert jazzier textures, relying on his own extended keyboard solos and Chris Wood's sax and flute work. A number of songs began to stretch out to six and seven minutes. These elements became prominent on John Barleycorn Must Die and Low Spark. LIKE A TRUE EPIC CLASSIC ~ IT NEVER DIES ~ NOR DOES IT FADE AWAY!

Grading is by the Goldmine standards as follows:

SS =  S T I L L   S E A L E D   ( ALL SEALED ITEMS ARE "AS IS" CONDITION  AND NOT FOR RETURN IF OPENED )

MINT (abbreviated as "M") ... A mint record should appear to have just left the manufacturer without any handling.

NEAR MINT (abbreviated as "NM") ,,, A Near Mint record appears Mint but has one or two tiny, inconsequential flaws that do not affect the play.

VERY GOOD PLUS (abbreviated as "VG+") ... A Very Good Plus record has been handled and played either infrequently or very carefully (this grade is sometimes referred to as "Excellent").

VERY GOOD (abbreviated as "VG") ... A Very Good record will display visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear, and spindle trails from countless spins on the turntable. May have audible surface noise.

GOOD (abbreviated as "G") ... A Good record has been well-played with any number of defects that collectors normally shy away from. However, a Good record should still be playable and listen-able!

FAIR (abbreviated as "F") ... A Fair record is any record or cover that does not qualify for a "Good" grading.
