from the likes of Fleetwood Mac and Chicken Shack, not to mention Savoy Brown and John
Mayall. Yet it wasn't long before the lads from Stafford, England established themselves as
a seriously good band.
With Colin Cooper (sax, vocals) and Peter Haycock (guitar) providing a solid front line, they
proved a match for their blues breaking rivals. Climax cut their eponymously titled debut
album in 1969, followed in the same year by 'Plays On'. Here they play on a selection of
nine tracks, including the 'live' favourite 'Flight' and the somewhat tongue-in-cheekily titled
'Hey Baby Everything's Gonna Be Alright! Yeh Yeh Yeh'.
Chris Thomas - later to work with Roxy Music and the Sex Pistols - produced 'Plays On',
which still packs more punch than the glam and punk rock that followed at the time from
other groups! TRACKLISTING:
