Given out during Rag Week by Sheffield University Students Union, this EP contains two tracks which are the only known recordings of Joe Cocker's Blues Band, recorded live at Sheffield’s legendary Mojo Club.

From the EP Sleeve notes:
"Everyone was there.
The place; The Mojo Club, Sheffield.
The date; June 29th, 1967.
The occasion; the live recording of Rag Record '67.
The result? Eighteen whole minutes of action-packed music played in an electric atmosphere, and featuring no less than four top groups from the area.
Pete Stringfellow introduces the boys to the stomping, cheering, hand-clapping audience, and just how much sweat was lost during this fantastic recording is a matter of conjecture. What is certain is that to relive the experience requires only the playing of this disc. It's all here - as it happened."
"All proceeds to Charities supported by Sheffield Students' Rag"
