Svart’s deluxe reissue of the album, and the preceding EP Free the Witch, sold out several pressings…
Peter Green is regarded by some fans as the greatest white blues guitarist ever, Eric Clapton notwithstanding.

King, Freddie King, and traditional Jewish music. He originally played bass before being invited in 1966 by keyboardist Peter Bardens to play lead in the Peter B's, whose drummer was a lanky chap named Mick Fleetwood…
