There is a slight chance that Swiss rockers Toad had heard of a band called Deep Purple before making this album. And perhaps another band called Uriah Heep. Let's face it, the "Ooooh ooooh" bit in opener "Cotton Wood Hill" is pure "Child in Time", and the middle section of "Life Goes On" nods pretty clearly to Heep. In general this is a veritable reference fest, but a good one! There's plenty of Free here, particularly in the bass department, and if that's not a good thing this world has run out of good things! Released in 1971, this Martin Birch produced (no wonder they sound like Deep Purple!) album - their debut - is thoroughly enjoyable for all fans of great blues based 70's rock!
