A meeting in 1973 between SPENCER DAVIS and other members of his previous band (which had split at the end of the sixties) led to a short but intensive reunion of THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP later that year. It produced two well received studio albums and saw them touring extensively.

It is from those tours that this exclusive live album comes, assembled from the band's own archive. This live CD features the 1973/4 Spencer Davis Group reunion, with tracks taped by the The Spencer Davis Group, live in Europeband in concert and off their radio sessions. As well as alternate takes of five tracks apiece from "Gluggo" and "Living In A Back Street", it also includes versions of the single-only "Mr. Operator" and two hits from the Winwood era; "Gimme Some Lovin and an extended "I'm A Man". It includes perhaps their best known song from this era, "Catch You On The Rebop".

Playing with Davis are guitarist RAY FENWICK (who later joined the Ian Gillan Band), drummer PETE YORK, keyboardist EDDIE HARDIN and bassist CHARLIE McCRACKEN. The 12 page colour CD booklet contains the story of the reunion with live pictures and memorabilia.
