CD Reviews

If you love the first LP, beware!

Richard Bone | Smithfield, RI USA | 11/14/2006

(2 out of 5 stars)

"Although A Jug Of Love is recorded and played well enough, it has none of the magic of the first LP. Gone is the mysticism and wonder of tracks like Egyptian Tomb, House With No Windows, etc. Instead what you get is a band that must have thought they were going to be the UK answer to the Grateful Dead. No thanks. I was braced for the bluesy elements but they are not even all that present. It just sounds like a bunch of stoners jamming. No real songs and Martin Stone's guitar playing is completely different than on the first LP. Pushed to the back of mix even and played clean and dry (I loved the power of Stone's guitar on the first LP). For collectors only!"

A beautiful record

"As a big fan of both The Action and the first Mighty Baby album, I'd been looking forward to hearing this for many years. And, while it's a very different animal than what came before it, I think it's a very moving piece. "The Happiest Man in the Carnival", in particular, is worth the price of admission alone.

Coupled with excellent packaging and a recent interview with the entire band, this is a must for fans of the band."
