1973 debut album from the first afro-rock trio ever Blo.

Made up of Berkely ‘Ike’ Jones on guitar, Laolu ‘Akins’ Akintobi on drums and Mike ‘Gbenga’ Odumosu on bass – had a pedigree like few others at the time having worked as part of Ginger Baker’s band Salt in the years leading to their formation in 1972.

Eight tracks of infectious afro-rock that took the band’s afro-beat foundations and melded them with the western psychedelia, rock and funk of the late 60s!
