Reviewed by Callum Ashworth, 247 Album Verdict

A loose, jam-heavy peak, home to 'Jungle Boogie' and 'Funky Stuff'. Joyful and beloved. A genre classic. Released in 1973, it set the tone for everything that followed.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
