Comments:
This album was a compilation of tracks from 2 previous European-only releases:
'Seven Tears' (1971) and 'Together' (1972). As far as I know it has never been released on CD, but it is one of my all-time favourite rock albums, so I eventually bought 'Seven Tears' and 'Together' just to have all these great tracks. 'Jangalene' is a classic rock song with its long acoustic intro and then thundering full-tilt climax. This album goes from light to dark, soft to loud in an instant and is very comparable to the Deep Purple or Zeppelin stuff from the same era.
