Seriously good. Thanks. I knew Mayall through his blues and guitar legends in his bands. But I like this. Silent Type Jul 23 #1

It was his best album, in my opinion calguy Jul 23 #2

I was in the Army when it came out around 1970, and we listened to it so many times while smoking pot that we wore it out.
My second favorite album of his was 'Jazz Blues Fusion''.
