The Spencer Davis Group "Taking Out Time" Complete Recordings 1967-1969 - CD 1 of 3

RPM Records have accomplished a fantastic feat by compiling all of the Spencer Davis Group’s existing post-Steve Winwood recordings for the very first time in a gorgeous three-disc clamshell box set. It’s similar to what Esoteric Records did with the Moody Blues’ Magnificent Moodies box set...

...Taking Out Time: Complete Recordings 1967-1969 includes both sides of their fab singles: “Time Seller” b/w “Don’t Want You No More” from 1967, “Mr. Second Class” b/w “Sanity Inspector” from 1968 and “After Tea” b/w “Moonshine” from 1968. The latter two are included in mono, while we also get a stereo mix of “After Tea” (with guests Dave Mason and Chris Wood of Traffic), “Short Change” b/w “Picture of Heaven” from 1968, and the German version of “Aquarius” b/w “Let The Sunshine In” from 1968. Another singles rarity included here is the UK TV show theme song for “Magpie” and “Twice a Week,” originally released by the Murgatroyd Band back in 1971 but actually recorded by the early ’68 Mk. III line-up.
All of the Spencer Davis Group’s tunes from 1967’s Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush are featured, plus respective alternate versions, the original albums With Their New Face On from 1968 and Funky from 1969, and one live 1968 track called “Dust My Blues.” There are also six 1968 outtakes, and the surviving BBC Radio sessions from 1967-68 – including 10 more BBC tracks not previously released by RPM. Complete BBC sessions information is included in the booklet.
