This IS a 50 years ago very scare British-only (no USA) issue pressed by UK Columbia for Parlophone Records. Future legends GINGER BAKER and JACK BRUCE team together 2 years before their storied CREAM super-group!

Cover art design by GINGER BAKER.
The Graham Bond Organization is famous more for spawning two-thirds of Cream, than for their own accomplishments, at least in the US where it has been virtually impossible to get their two famous '60s UK-only album showcases this unit as already great musicians with absolutely no desire for playing it safe or going commercial. Their hard-driving, r&b sound is truly unique. The material is great - and what comes through consistently is the sheer energy of this group and the virtuosity of the players. Bond, himself, is a true whiz on the organ - delivering some of the most powerful and nimble keyboard playing you will ever hear on a '60s UK "beatrock" music recording. Ginger Baker's presence is very much in evidence throughout. Dick Heckstall-Smith, who went on to a long career playing with Jack Bruce and Colloseum, throws jazz licks into a rock environment with inspired results. And Jack, who is quite prominent on back-up vocals, plays a steady and imaginative bass. Many should be interested as a Cream fans, but don't be surprised if you finding yourself playing it constantly, enjoying - most of the four sides of material found throughout both of these albums - very much!
And the 'fan-man' says:

"This is great stuff, rather jazzier than most British R&B 'beatrock' at the time. The Organization has an unusual sound since there is no guitarist on hand. Bond and Dick Heckstall-Smith make one hell of a front line, and of course the rhythm section of Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker are as expected phenomenal. In a way it's surprising that Bond doesn't make more use of Jack's fine singing voice, but Bond is a good singer in a rather style openly imitative of Ray Charles (who is pretty obviously the main influence on this music). Graham Bond was a fine talent who unfortunately never found much commercial success and died too young. Fans of the British R&B and 'beat-rock' scene of the '60s should not pass this LP by."
