When this recording was released back in the '70s, Cat performed it on one of those pre-MTV rock concert shows. He performed the entire suite and several other selections, if not the entire album. The concert was hypnotic and the next day I pulled together my coins and bought the album, $6 or $7 back then. I've loved it since. Much was made of Cat's pulling in some R&B influence on this album: Was he abandoning folk-rock? Naw. He was exploring and stretching out. And he did a credible job of it. I give it five stars and it doesn't really matter to me that few folks bought it. It kicks!
