Having heard this album as an import on vinyl and loved it to death, it`s about time it was released on CD. The guitar work from Kossoff is amongstthe best he ever produced and was an indication of the genius that was yet to come.
If tracks like Blue Soul and Leaves in the Wind don`t leave the hairs on the back of your neck standing on edge, then check your pulse, you`ve probably died and have`t realised it.
It`s not just Kossoff that makes this a great album, Terry Slessers vocals prove he was vastly under rated.
Along with The Band Plays on, 2nd Street proves without a doubt what a loss Kossoff was to British Rock.

A sad but fitting swansong for one of our most soulful guitarists. Koss' brilliance on this is sadly diminished, and he is only featured sporadically (replacement Geoff Whitehorn may have played many of the guitar parts), but this album was so much better than the so-so, thin-sounding, first BSC album. Blue Soul, Some Kind Of Happy and Leaves In The Wind are three of my absolute favourite songs ever, by anyone. Period! Contrary to Jane's previous review, sadly, there wasn't any more from Koss, at least not chronologically, as he died even before it was released, at the tragically young age of 25. This is a beautiful, but somewhat sad testament to a fantastic talent destroyed by hard drugs.

Funky souly gutsy 70s bluesrock with a sensitive side

Funky souly gutsy 70s bluesrock with a sensitive side. This is *so* much better than the rather banal first album. The band's sound is quite complex in places and there are few weaknesses in terms of musicianship (*everything* is good). Many tracks are characterized by interesting and unusual changes of key and pace, e.g., the band can go from an upbeat funky style to melancholy in a few bars (Leaves in the Wind): impressive. Most of the songs are about either lost love or love gone bad -- right in the Free / Bad Company tradition. Favourite tracks: Blue Soul; Stop Doing What You're Doing; Sweet Sweet Beauty. This stuff is 30 years old in 2006: they just don't make 'em like this anymore. Its a classic but known to only a few.

Too bad it's no longer available...

This album was one of Paul Kossoff's best. This is a must listen to those of us who remember bands like Crawler (what this band became) and Charlie (a band that later infused some members of Crawler). Yes, it is the rougher edge of the 70's harmony and fusion type of bands, but lets face it...no matter if it was the rowdier or poppier side - we bought this stuff and loved it! Since it is no longer available, I suggest the import Back Street Crawler. I have that one on LP as well and still enjoy it.

This is Koss`s epitaph..leaves in the wind indeed.
This album demonstrates why Koss had more soul in his little finger than the speed freaks of flash guitar.
If this album doesn`t move you,check your pulse!
