Back in 1965, this album seemed like a real mess, which was understandable, because
wasn't a "real" album, in the sense that
ever assembled an LP of that name or content. Rather, it was the response of their American label,
, to the band's achieving a number six single with the title track, with manager
selecting the cuts. The quasi-progressive
dominated by guest artist
's harpsichord, is juxtaposed with hard-rocking blues-based numbers, almost all of which featured departed lead guitarist
(who is mentioned nowhere on the LP), with current lead guitarist
on just three tracks. The
cuts, although primitive next to the material he was soon to cut with
, have an intensity that's still riveting to hear four decades later, and was some of the best blues-based rock & roll of its era. The three
sides show where the band was really heading, beyond the immediate success of
--
and
were hard, loud, blazing showcases for
's concise blues playing, while
was the first extended jam to emerge on record from a band on the British blues scene; the source material isn't ideal, but
and company make their point in an era where bands were seldom allowed to go more than four minutes on even an album track -- these boys could play and make it count. ~ Bruce Eder
