^ Their most successful album apparently
I remember the cover on the inner sleeve of my Sparks albums
Island records would put lots of small colour albums by their other artists on the inner sleeves

A super group,Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Dave Mason and Rick Grech and it's all a bit meh. Best known for the John Barleycorn title track and that's just a reworking of a traditional folk tune. There is the brilliant one off psychedelic Hole In My Shoe though.
Those Island Record inners are a bit deceiving aside from the known artists, some of the esoteric stuff is not up to much. Not long back the Electric Storm White Noise album came in. Rather rare, nearly fifty years and I was about to hear it for the first time, hype surrounding it was that it had sounds beyond human hearing. What a disappointment, just electronic squelching and a couple having unerotic sex.

Nothing, which makes Weller's copying all the more incomprehensible. At least Marriott was worth copying, albeit lamely. |

Note to self: Don't be fooled by Island Records inner sleeves + Don't listen to Electric Storm White Noise album Thanks PU |
