Climax Blues Band - 1969-72 - The Harvest Years
Climax Blues Band (originally known as the Climax Chicago Blues Band) was formed in Stafford, England in 1968. The original members were guitarists Peter Haycock and Derek Holt; keyboardist Arthur Wood; bassist Richard Jones; drummer George Newsome; and vocalist and harmonica player, Colin Cooper. In 1970, the group shortened its name to the Climax Blues Band due to pressure from the American band, Chicago Transit Authority. The band has released at least seventeen albums and had a Top 10 hit in the UK with "Couldn't Get It Right". That song and "I Love You" were American hits as well; "Couldn't Get It Right" reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1977, and "I Love You" peaked at #12 in 1981.This album is a compilation of the highlights from their 3 years (EMI) Harvest-label period. 01 - Please Don't Help Me 02 - Hey Baby, Everything's Gonna Be Alright Yeh Yeh Yeh 03 - Everyday 04 - Towards The Sun 05 - You Make Me Sick 06 - Reap What I've Sowed 07 - Shake Your Love 08 - Looking For My Baby 09 - Flight 10 - Mole On The Dole 11 - That's All 12 - Take Out Some Insurance 13 - Wee Baby Blues 14 - Crazy 'bout My Baby 15 - Alright Blue 16 - Cut You Loose LINK
