SavedFucker

steve winwood is a genius

band has a solid groove

Dream Gerrard is the greatest stoner song ever.

The Vacant

Such an underrated band. Low Spark, Medicated Goo, Pearly Queen, Dear Mr. Fantasy, and Light Up or Leave Me Alone are killer tunes.

FinsburyParkCarrots

Anyone else think that the production on "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" was far too quiet?

FinsburyParkCarrots

Do you have the stereo or mono re-release of Mr Fantasy?

fada

I have a greatest hits collection. Not sure on what format but I always thought that it and "Riverdeep mountain high" by ike and tina were far too quiet and should have come blazing out of speakers like "REvolution" by the beatles.

Traffic was awesome. Freedom Rider and Low Spark are my favorites. Low Spark is such a great groove to jam to. Chris Wood was an incredible musician. Traffic members played a fairly significant role in the recording of Hendrix's Electric Ladyland.

It might be worth getting hold of Mr Fantasy (either the stereo or mono 2000 re-issue, or both: it wasn't on the original album), and comparing.


You also have to remember that in 1967, most people were using four-track. Mr Fantasy was recorded at Olympic Studios, a pretty state of the art facility in those days (far superior to the antiquated Abbey Road of the time), but it still used four-track. I think Decca Studios were the first to use eight-track.

While I would be a fan of some of the singles , I won't be a great admirer of late material( john barleycorn etc..)

Winwood rocks.....thus Traffic rocks.....thus Blind Faith rocks.......Love that Low Spark.

Low Spark of High Heeled Boys and John Barleycorn Must Die are two of my all time favorite albums.

In Re: The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys ... great tune, but always makes me think of 80's porn music.
