Traffic
Mr. Fantasy
Original 1st Press UK LP released in 1967 on the Pink Island label with black eye logo. Cat: ILP 961. Comes in full gloss gatefold sleeve withinternal flip backs.
Rehearsed and written at a cottage in the Berkshire countryside, Traffic's debut was former child prodigy Steve Winwood's first foray into headier territory after a stint playing R&B-fueled rock & roll with the Spencer Davis Group. Rounded out by drummer Jim Capaldi and multi-instrumentalists Chris Wood and Dave Mason, MR. FANTASY included experimentation with vaudeville-inspired numbers ("Berkshire Poppies"), flamenco-flavored fantasy ("Dealer"), and sitar-drenched meditations ("Utterly Simple"). Winwood's inspired organ playing and soulful singing emerge on cuts like "Coloured Rain." In keeping with the band's unorthodox approach to composition and arrangement, "Giving To You" offers a funky groove sandwiched between tidbits of an overheard conversation about the relative merits of jazz.
Tracks : Heaven is in your mind/ Berkshire poppies/ House for everyone/ No face, no name and no number/ Dear Mr. Fantasy/ Dealer/ Utterly simple/ Coloured rain/ Hope I never find me there/ Giving to you.
