Notes

Early 80s UK reissue.
Same label design to A Hard Road but different rim text; in addition, there's no 'mono/stereo indicator' on rear sleeve.
No 'Made in Holland' anywhere on this release, unlike A Hard Road, which also seems to have very similar label design and sleeve.

Album credited to:
‘John Mayall And The Bluesbreakers’ on front sleeve;
‘John Mayall’ on rear sleeve;
‘John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers’ on labels.

Recorded at West Hampstead Studios, October 11, 12, 19, 24 and November 11, 1966.

Printed in England by Robert Stace.
