Peter Green is one of the guitar greats and he makes this album. For the most part it's fairly straight ahead blues rock, not all that engaging, in fact a bit dull in parts, but worth getting this just for the highlight which is Peter Green's "Supernatural". I once read someone describe this tune as Peter Green coming back from the future and doing an impression of Santana doing an impression of him. It certainly has the feel of Santana's cover of "Black Magic Women". The other high points of the album are the covers of "The Stumble" and "Someday After A While (You'll Be Sorry)".

I have this record with different features. It says 'Printed in The Netherlands' on the bottom left of the back sleeve. The catalog number is 6835 922. It is definitely Decca. It has a blue label with white letters. On the run-out groove of side 1 it says: 6835 922 1Y 2 P 1967 670 114 06. On side 2 it is: 6835 922 2Y 2 P 1967 670 112 06. It looks like an original release, but I did not buy it in 1967 (I was 2 years old, then) ans suspect it is a re-issue. Can anyone help me? Is it simply not yet on discogs? Or is it rare?

Kind regards, Michel Gunsing, Netherlands.
