Not only do you disclose your age when confessing to liking "Tightly Knit," you're making a statement. You see, it's become so politically incorrect to admit to being a fan of heavy, early-Seventies British white-boy blues, it's almost worse than declaring you admire those who pick their noses on TV. So, dare to be a boor. You'll enjoy this CBB recording if you appreciate the band's sound when it was more guitar heavy than sax funk and jazz anarchy. "Tightly Knit" is man's music. So don't tell the wife you ordered this. Hide it when it arrives in a brown paper wrapper. And make sure she's outta the room when you play "Shoot Her If She Runs" and the nine minutes of "St. Michael's Blues" -- really loud crunching guitar and a singer bellerin' in pain over his lady whose been lettin' another man raid his box of "special colored socks" in the bedroom. --Dick Destiny

This is CBB's best work. St. Michael's Blues is one of my favorite blues songs of all time. This is one diverse group. They dont make 'em like CBB anymore.

Older albums are often better, since it is much harder for an unknown new group to be noticed.

The fact that Tightly Knit has been re-released says it all.

After hearing this in 75 I had to special order the album (that's right record album)! It is definitely their best album and one of a handfull of rock albums I think transend time. The rythmic interplay of the Sax with the other istruments on songs like Who Killed McSwiggin sounds like what Crimson could have done without all the experimentation. When I listen to this disc it doesn't bring back memories of any particular time or place, only the music. The music on this disc will stay with you. Enjoy it!

I was extremely happy to find this on CD, as I am a big fan of these guys and had the chance to see them perform. They definitely rock. You should really check out their other cd's: Rich Man, A Lot of Bottle, and FM Live(a live performance), plus there is a greatest hits on import too.

I really really loiked that dang song butt not nowbody knows where it at. I'm gettin really mad. It's got a great great tune. I love you. It's a great great song with trimendus lerics. I cant find it not nowhere. Help me! Help me anyone. I need to know. I requested it on the radio and that dang DJ kneew it, but dad gum amazon dont darn have it.
