Notes:  Maybe not as strong as Low Spark, this record finds the boys enjoying the freedom to create long pieces where everybody gets to shine. Still leaning into the jazz camp for ideas and inspirations the band rolls merrily along and plays without pretense. While others may strut the stage and look for confrontations, Traffic sits, smiles and nods knowingly. The cover repeats the die-cut motif of their earlier effort.

Line Up: 

Steve Winwood - Guitar, Keyboards, Vocals
Rebop Kwaku Baah - Percussion, Vocals
Jim Capaldi - Drums, Keyboards, Vocals
Roger Hawkins - Drums
