The unusual power duo of keyboardist/vocalist Eddie Hardin and drummer Pete York made a few albums in the late '60s and early '70s, and were aptly described as a cross between Traffic and Procol Harum.
They leaned a lot closer to Traffic than Procol Harum, with their blend of hard rock, soul, progressive, and jazz influences; the swirl and swell of Hardin's Hammond organ; and Hardin's Stevie Winwood-esque vocals.
And they came by that Traffic influence honestly: York had played alongside Winwood in the Spencer Davis Group before Winwood formed Traffic, and Hardin joined the Spencer Davis Group on keyboards and vocals after Winwood's departure.

Side 1:
Deep In My Despair (3:33)

Some Places Are Better To Be (2:48)
Ex 345 (5:42)

Take Away Today (6:03)

LABELS: NEAR MINT
An immaculate set of labels with one spindle trace per side
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces shine like new but there are some light hairlines/brush marks but all of these are audibly harmless
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+
This barely played copy delivers beautifully deep, rich and warm sound.
There a couple of one-off pops caused by in-vinyl pressing spots (present from new) otherwise, little to fault.
Great copy - very highly recommended indeed
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Apart from a tiny touch of rub on the edges and a soft crease to the top corner the cover is as crisp, sharp and fresh
