Tom Dowd produced 1972's self-titled debut from Ramatam, a poor man's Blind Faith featuring Mike Pinera (co-author of the Blues Image hit "Ride Captain Ride") on guitar and vocals and Mitch Mitchell on drums. The "star" of this group was alleged to be April Lawton, who had the Hendrix riffs down, to be sure, but not as creative as Robin Trower and all the gents who carried Jimi's sound and stylings into the '70s. An appearance by the group in Boston at the old Music Hall was pure white noise and not very memorable outside of that. The album is a bit more refined, but ultimately fails to deliver the goods.

(1972), A Wizard, A True Star (1973), Todd (1974), Initiation (1975), Faithful (1976), Hermit Of Mink Hollow (1978).

The Beastie Boys, when describing Brian Auger, said it best; 'Those who remain oblivious to the obvious delights of Brian Auger's Oblivion Express do so at their own risk!' The legendary Brian Auger has returned with this 3 disc 50 year career retrospective. Since the early '60s Auger has proven to be a restless, wandering musical spirit, and this collection is the proof in the pudding that his enormous talent and vision have warranted – and continue to warrant – his participation in multiple genres as a multi-instrumentalist, composer, bandleader, and arranger who has successfully and effortlessly blurred the lines between jazz, blues, R&B, funk, soul, fusion, and rock. His voice is clearly recognizable to his millions of fans. With over 20 albums to his name, Brian Auger has accumulated Grammy Nominations, 10 albums charting in Billboards Hot 100, a #1 single, and the title of 'The Godfather of Acid Jazz'. His tracks have been sampled by Mos Def, Common, the Beastie Boys, Air and Kid Loco; his original compositions covered by Sarah Vaughan, Richard 'Groove' Holmes and The Main Ingredient.
