Albatross –Tobacco Road/Let It Roll –Gull 22395 -8N (1975 German issue)
Following their tenure with Mooncrest; Albatross jumped ship to Gull and nearly made it with this corking version of Tobacco Road. Albatross enthusiastically update the old chestnut, adding a Can’t Explain riff in a hugely invigorating performance with Maximum Crunching Glam appeal. The B side Let It Roll is a loud rocker, spouting attitude with a protruding cowbell and also fully deserves to be highlighted here in its entirety. Albatross were: John Jones, Malc Player, Danny Balkwill and Terry Keyworth . John Jones then went on to form Fringe Benefit. He is still active today: http://joejonesqed.co.uk/

No, I hadn't this before. The production is great. L O U D !
Much better than their other stuff which I always found a bit too boogie woogie knees up greasy good time.
Nice.
