Description:
UP FOR AUCTION THE TRAFFIC LP FROM 1968
..SEALED ON UNITED ARTISTS RECORDS IN STEREO (UAS 6676)
, "Traffic was the eponymous rock album by the English rock band Traffic, ranging in style from psychedelic rock to acid jazz. It was their second release, in October 1968 and reached number 9 in the UK album charts on 26th October 1968
After their debut album, Mr. Fantasy, Traffic planned a more mainstream album, possibly with fewer drug references and psychedelic influences. Before they began recording, they decided to reinstate Dave Mason. Mason ended up writing and singing roughly half of the album, making almost no contribution to the other half.
Chris Wood's flute playing on the album was compared to that of Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull, who is often thought of as the most famous rock flautist of all time.
Following the release of Traffic, the band embarked upon a tour of the United States but shortly thereafter fired bassist Mason. At the conclusion of the tour, at the beginning of 1969, Winwood announced the breakup of Traffic. Winwood joined supergroup Blind Faith while the remaining members of Traffic (including Mason) worked on a project called Wooden Frog which never recorded an album. In 1970, Winwood reunited with Capaldi and Wood to release John Barleycorn Must Die.
