LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

The complicated life of this legendary R&B outfit was almost over when this, their penultimate album, appeared in 1970. Astonishingly, by then they were reduced to a duo consisting of original bassist Alan Henderson and US vocalist / percussionist Jerry Cole. It ranges from pounding psychedelia ('I Keep Singing') and snotty garage punk ('Lonely Weekends', a shameless rewrite of 'Gloria) to furious rock and roll ('Jo Ann') and even a country ballad ('Take A Little Time'). As the original sleevenotes declared: "The THEM sound combines the typical British style with an air of mystery and an atmosphere of excitement... mythical, mystical, Oriental, African, electronic and computer rhythms included.""
