Description
2017 two CD set containing a rare set of historic performances by the Climax Blues Band. Heard for the first time on CD, these expertly remastered tracks from 1970 to 1978, capture the unique Climax sound with it's blend of vocal harmonies, sax and guitar, created by the late Peter Haycock (guitar) and Colin Cooper (vocals and saxophone). Disc 1 has 15 tracks with 'Spoonful', 'Goin' To New York' and 'Milwaukee Truckin Blues' among the highlights. Disc 2 has a further 14 items including international hit single 'Couldn't Get It Right'. Extensive liner notes by Chris Welch, aided by founder member bass guitarist Derek Holt, tell the fascinating story of the group and background to these long-lost recordings. Recordings in stereo and mono.

Maybe Geff. You and I agree that 'FM" is a killer. I felt they were a better live band than studio.
When I see a discounted price for this release in the future I will probably go for it.

That was the whole conversation I had in my own head.

Bump again to add the tracklist to the first post.

Includes only 2 of my favorites ( I Am Constant & Going To New York). Is anyone familiar with the majority of these songs?
