We got one there. We got one there.
John McLaughlin - Electric Guitarist
I believe that this was the first proper jazz-fusion LP I bought. I remember picking it up in JiFS Records, Chadwell Heath in about 1984. (Man, I'd fucking love to go back and have a dig in that shop again!) I was an avid reader of guitarist magazines at the time and kept reading about McLaughlin and his Gatling gun playing-style, and just had to hear it. There was no way of hearing it before buying in those days, so it was a bit of a gamble, although to be fair, I knew I was going to love it.
All the big guns are wheeled out in support of McLaughlin on this album and they all get a fair shake of the sauce bottle.
The second track, Friendship, is a frequent spinner on my earworm jukebox, and has been for some 40 years now.
