One of the very best early versions!!! Trippy, wild, and emotive, with Ken Babbs throwing in some "flavor"

Wild, loose and scorching Other One followed by one of the best Crypitcal reprises, maybe second only to 3/2/69

Yah i definitely dig the potent little E72 versions of the song when I just need a quick fix. I've had this on HYH forever. Keith and Phil are money all the way.
