This is their most successful album album. It includes Brenda Holloway’s ”You’ve made me so very happy”, Laura Nyro’s ”And when I die”, Traffic’s ”Smiling phases”, Clayton-Thomas’ ”Spinning Wheel”,
and many other of their most popular songs.
If the first album was a loose jazz blending melted together with rock, this album have a more clearer delineation between jazz and rock. Straight ahead rocksongs and a jazzy part in the middle of each song.
This was the formula that really did catch the fancy of the public.

Blood, Sweat & Tears was the first concert ticket I bought - I think it was $4. This album was one of the first four I bought, and I still cherish it - on vinyl!

despite all the acclaim this got back in 1968, this album seems to have been all but forgotten by history. a shame, really.

Blues (Part II) sounds like Cream's Sunshine Of Your Love in some parts:)
