Jack Bruce (vocals, bass guitar); Graham Bond (Mellotron, keyboards); Ginger Baker (drums). Bond's second album stakes out similar territory as his debut in a more polished but slightly less exciting fashion. Some of the covers are a bit routine and hackneyed, and the original material isn't quite as strong (or frequent) as on the first effort. On a few tunes, the group expands from rave-ups to mellower, jazzier ballads that retain an R&B base. Highlights include the early Jack Bruce composition "Hear Me Calling Your Name" (to which he also contributes a fine lead vocal) and the excellent Bond tune "Walkin' in the Park," which holds up to the best early British R&B numbers. The album is also notable for being one of the very first rock LPs to feature the Mellotron, which Bond uses subtly and well. Reissue of the classic second album now with 6 bonus tracks. Includes the legendary lineup of Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, and Dick Heckstall-Smith. Bonus tracks include rare single A & B sides. 18 tracks.
