Read "Where Fortune Smiles" reviewed by Maurizio Comandini

Ian Carr: Torrid Zone - The Vertigo Recordings 1970-1975

Read "Torrid Zone - The Vertigo Recordings 1970-1975" reviewed by Roger Farbey

(Turtle Records, 2018). Now they've done it again with a painstakingly assembled ...

There was a special remastered edition released in 2007 by Castle Music, ...
