This is a weird release, not just for its title that recalls the 1971 Luchino Visconti film of the same name, but also for the main content that is a recording of John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers Windsor concert from 1967 that was officially released on John Mayall’s massive 35 cds box The First Generation 1965-1974 in 2021. Despite that this recording comes from the audience and is generally good, but at times saturated, especially at the end of some tracks, but its historical value allowed it to be officially released. The band’s personnel featured Mick Taylor on guitar, Rip Kant on baritone sax, Chris Mercer on tenor sax, John Mayall on vocal, keyboards, piano and harmonica, Keef Hartley on drums and John McVie on bass. After this concert there is Garage Man, an official single from the band The Gods where allegedly Mick Taylor played, followed by 4 tracks from Top Gear.
