SKY KING – Secret Sauce – (Columbia) – 1975

COLOURS – Atmosphere – (Dot) – 1969
This one has been banging around my “maybe” pile for quite some time. I listened to it some time ago and I quite liked it but thought I might need the shelving space for something else. The first album with … Continue reading
