Their classic album debut features milestones like ”Richard Lionheart”, the brooding ”Triplets” and ”Tax Free” (later covered by Jimi Hendrix), perfectly capturing Hansson & Karlsson’s sound with Janne Carlsson’s intimidating drums underlining Bo Hansson’s spooky organ. However, they were pretty much a one trick pony, and a full album of theirs is too much for one sitting. Their jazzy jamming get a bit cheesy at times, even on this album that remains their best.
