was a UK rock band active from 1970 - 1974.
Hookfoot were Elton John's backing band in the seventies
featuring the musical minds of Caleb Quaye, Ian Duck, Dave Glover and Roger
Pope. They released four albums as a band (as far as I know) and they played
a blend of blues and rock, quite often influenced by folk-rock artists of
their time. This is their debut album featuring original songs as well as
two covers, Stephen Stills' "Bluebird (a major hit for Buffalo Springfield)"
and Neil Young's "Don't Let It Bring You Down". Both tracks are given a
rockier edge. The album contains a few tracks to keep you interested (always
according to my taste), namely the a-fore-mentioned and "Mystic Lady".
I bought this vinyl in 1996 in Leeds and, although it was
supposed to be relatively rare, it was only priced for 50p, probably because
the worn-out cover made the salesman think that the record was in bad
condition too. Lucky bastard I was then!!! If you happen to be a retro freak,
a record digger or a purist like me, try to find the original vinyl.
Rip is in 320 kbps. A few clicks and pops are present but nothing really to
worry about.

and enjoy!
