Downhill after this one,

This review is from: Stamp Album (MP3 Download)
Climax Blues Band hit its creative peak with the 1975 release of Stamp Album. Granted, you won't find much Chicago blues on this one, as you did on Plays On, A Lot of Bottle and Tightly Knit.But Stamp Album shows a band that has tastefully matured. With seven albums behind them before this LP, Climax Blues Band finally enjoyed a brush with commercial success with minor hits "Using the Power" and "I am Constant." Both are decent tracks, but really the album features much better material, namely "Mr Goodtime," "Running Out of Time," and the instrumental "Cobra." What you'll hear on this relatively short but solid album are songs with deep grooves; judicious use of sax, clarinet and flute; Peter Haycock's brilliant guitar playing (he's one of the most criminally overlooked guitar players in rock history); and a band that truly seemed to enjoy itself cutting this one in the studio. If you have the back catalog of CBB albums, you'll hear parts on Stamp Album that could fit on Sense of Direction and Rich Man (my favorite CBB LP). If you're looking to build a Climax Blues Band collection, get Tightly Knit, Rich Man, FM Live and of course, Stamp Album.

This review is from: Stamp Album (Audio CD)
as we got closer to the mid 70s the climax blues band started to get a bit better with a bit more of a heavy rockin edge, this record was regarded as one of there best next to platted in 1976, still my favorite is whole lot of bottle from 1970. great album here though, as well as a great japan mini lp sleeve replica....
