And it seems that my days are numbered


Blood Sweat And Tears - Child Is Father To The Man

Some years ago, my wife bought a lot of LPs from an auction and there were three Blood, Sweat and Tears LPs in there, including this, their debut.

In 1967, session keyboard player, Al Kooper, got BS&T together to record this album of pre-prog, incorporating elements of rock, folk, soul, jazz, classical, and psych, all under Kooper’s rather weak and grating vocal.

The band fucked old Koops off after this album and carried on without him. They were arguably better.

The picture on the sleeve is as 1968 as you’ll see, though, and is an amazing job, considering there was no photoshop in the old days and scissors hadn't yet been invented.
