CLEAN....ORIGINAL 1970 first pressing...the second of three good albums by the BLUES IMAGE who scored the excellent surprise hit "Ride Captain Ride" ...on this album...

STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER with the rare "RIDE CAPTAIN RIDE" STICKER!  

When Blues Image launched into their 1970 chart smash, 'Ride Captain Ride', the smoking lamp was lit up ! And, with their subtle use of Latin Rhythms, featuring tantalizing fret-board guitar work by Mike Pinera and the addictive conga drums of Joe Lala, this Tampa, Fla. combo proved themselves anything but a one hit wonder on their out of nowhere classic, "Open"

Blues Image's second album was their most successful, in large part because of the inclusion of their huge hit single "Ride Captain Ride." The rest of the record, however, shows them to be a band in search of a more individual voice, borrowing heavily as it does from Jimi Hendrix ("Love Is the Answer," "Pay My Dues"), Creedence Clearwater Revival ("Running the Water"),
any number of average blues-rock bands ("Clean Love"), and the Latin-rock fusion of Santana
("La Bamba," "Consuelate," and the instrumental "Wrath of Daisey"). Those familiar only with "Ride Captain Ride" might be surprised at the band's versatility, which took in blues, Latin, and hard rock, though not in as even or striking a mixture as, say, Santana. It's a pedestrian form of versatility, though, with none of the other songs possessing the pop hooks of "Ride Captain Ride

CONDITION: The cover:  The black cover is solid all over MINT- in original factory shrink wrapper = really special as the dark cover is nearly always found with shelf wear, this copy survived and looks GREAT!

The vinyl: All glossy clean on both sides CLEAN VG++ having no more than minor inner sleeve like hair scuffs that can not easily be seen so plays quite enjoyable without audio problem...  = 42 years old!
