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

A great version! Scarlet is very good but Fire is where it's at. Really hot playing on this part of the pairing. Indeed an overlooked and underrated show!
