Synopsis

Album Description
Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of the veteran British Rock band's 1968 debut album including 10 bonus tracks on the first disc plus a bonus disc consisting of unreleased material, new notes by David Wells and a booklet full of rare photos and memorabilia. The album was released in September 1968, and reached #12 in the UK album charts. The lead single was originally intended to be "Gentleman Joe's Sidewalk Caf?", with the original Francis Rossi composition "Pictures of Matchstick Men" as the b-side, but these songs were eventually swapped round. It reached #7 in the UK, and remains the band's only major hit single in the United States where it reached #12.
