Das 72er Album, als die CBB noch eine britische Bluesband von vielen waren. Allerdings funktionierte da die Mischung aus leichteren, poppigeren Stücken und dem satten britischen Bluesrock dieser Phase schon erstaunlich gut. Am besten ist das bei den beiden Coverversionen nachzuvollziehen: Shake Your Love (Bo Diddley) und Don’t You Mind People Grinning In Your Face (Son House). Remastert.

Rich Man was originally released by Sire in 1972, four years before the Climax Blues Band broke through to the mainstream via their only radio hit, "Couldn't Get It Right." While this isn't the most memorable record in their discography, it is worth checking out for fans, as a lighter, pop-oriented approach is mixed with the hard blues-rock the band was known for at the time, especially on the Bo Diddley-like "Shake Your Love" and the Son House standard "Don't You Mind People Grinning in Your Face."
