Do I remember this? The first release on Bluestime in 1969. Reviewers complained that Smith's contribution was lost to the organ and wondering why he was include. There was a 45 as well. Today we're probably more tolerant.

At the same time Joe Turner (The Real Boss Of The Blues) and Super Black Blues (T-Bone Walker, Joe Turner, Otis Spann) were issued with George in more sympathetic surroundings.

Thank you ! I didn't knew that this record existed. As a Zappa fan, I have the GTO's album produced by Zappa. I suppose that some PC girls were with the GTO's (?). As a French guy, I though that Plaster Caster came from the artists member molders made by groupies. According to that hobby, Jimi was a huge musician. I should use a dictionary, not google translator.

I don't know if the PC girls were in the GTO's but as a Hendrix fan I know of the stories around them.
This LP only uses the name to sell more LP's but it really work as not many copies were sold.

Hi!

Thanx for the re-up. A "new" artist here = "new" hears here. Presently listening to some YT tracks @ their Discogs page here:

Also, while researching the band, found this fairly detailed 2018 article (man in a German WWII uniform peeking between branches & saying "Very interesting!") here:

Cheers!
Ciao! For now.

Thanks Xyros. To me this album sounds pretty much like the Revolutionnary Blues Band on MCa which featured Rod Piazza on harmonica. Arthur Adams plays on both albums.
There is a version of "Lanoola Goes Limp" on both records.
Kinda bluesy jazzy easy listening.
Difficult to figure out who their target audience was supposed to be. Not hardcore blues fans for sure, nor jazz fans ... A bit of an oddity.
Cheers

Many thanks for the link mtcj, made good readind. personaly I think this Lp was released for men who were following pottery classes ... sort of background music while they let their thoughts go wild.
