The Climax Blues Band - Plays On (Expanded & Remastered) (1969/2013)

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the British Blues band's second album, issued originally in 1969. Formed in Stafford in 1968 by Colin Cooper, the band recorded their second album in 1969 with a lineup of Cooper (vocals, saxophones, harmonica), Pete Haycock (guitar, vocals), Arthur Wood (keyboards), Derek Holt (bass, mellotron), Richard Jones (bass) and George Newsome (drums). This Esoteric Recordings release has been newly remastered and features four bonus tracks, two of which are drawn from the a & B sides of a single and two previously unreleased recordings, 'Dance of the Mountain Queen's Daughter' and the first mix of 'Flight'. The reissue includes a lavishly illustrated booklet that fully restores the original album artwork and a new essay.
