2006 remaster Mini-LP CD edition of the 1969 Harvest album by the British Blues Boom band. This is the second album and like the bands contemporaries (Fleetwood Mac, Groundhogs, Steamhammer, Jethro Tull, Ten Years After etc) features progressive blues with a hip young psychedelic attack and a powerful rock edge. Housed in a mini replica cardboard sleeve. Climax Blues Band faced heavy competition when they appeared on the scene in late 1968 from the likes of Fleetwood Mac and Chicken Shack, not to mention Savoy Brown and John Mayall. Yet it wasn’t long before the lads from Stafford, England established themselves as a seriously good band. With Colin Cooper (sax, vocals) and Peter Haycock (guitar) providing a solid front line, they proved a match for their blues breaking rivals. Climax cut their eponymously titled debut album in 1969, followed in the same year by ‘Plays On’. Here they play on a selection of nine tracks, including the ‘live’ favourite ‘Flight’ and the somewhat tongue-in-cheekily titled ‘Hey Baby Everything’s Gonna Be Alright! Yeh Yeh Yeh’. Chris Thomas - later to work with Roxy Music and the Sex Pistols - produced ‘Plays On’, which still packs more punch than the glam and punk rock that followed at the time from other groups! Booklet with authoritative and extensive liner notes by respected author and journalist Chris Welch.
