This compilation was originally issued in 1971, during a break in the band's activities, and is here on CD for the first time.
The original album remixed earlier material and spawned a hit single too. Mixing late sixties rock and pop with touches of psyche, folk and a prog nod, the Roger Chapman led combo were popular at the time, and this is a good intro to the band at the time, with informative sleevenotes too, from GRTR's Pete Feenstra.
Chapman's a good singer and it shows here, and the rockier material shows some good guitar and bass work. Well worth investigating.
