Mr. Fantasy
(Item #: traffmrfan_1908_10)
Our Price: $399.99
- This early Pink Label import pressing boasts Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) sound or close to it on both sides, making this one of the best copies to hit the site in many years, if not THE best
- We used to think that The Best of Traffic had better sound, but in a head to head comparison with this very copy, we were proved WRONG
- Big, full-bodied and lively, with huge amounts of space and off the charts Tubey Magic, the sound here is Hard to Fault - thanks Eddie and Jimmy!
- "Winwood is simply incredible. He has a top group of musicians with him and they have made an album which is one of the best from any contemporary group." - Rolling Stone, 1968

Welcome to the Canteen
(Item #: traffwelco_1910)
Our Price: $129.99
- You'll find outstanding Double Plus (A++) sound or close to it on this UK copy of the band's first live album
- Forget the dubby domestic pressings and whatever crappy Heavy Vinyl record they're making these days - these imports are the only way to fly
- 4 stars: "... the playing was exemplary, and the set list was an excellent mixture of old Traffic songs and recent Mason favorites. "Dear Mr. Fantasy" got an extended workout, and the capper was a rearranged version of Steve Winwood's old Spencer Davis Group hit "Gimme Some Lovin'." ...Welcome to the Canteen's status as only a semi-legitimate offering was emphasized by the release of The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. But that doesn't make it any less appealing as a summing up of the Winwood/Mason/Traffic musical world."
