ATOMIC ROOSTER ~ MADE IN ENGLAND REPERTOIRE 4165 ~ UK ~ Progressive Rock 4th album from 1972, marking the beginning of the second period of the band when the powerful blues and rock singer Chris Farlowe (from Colosseum) joined their ranks. Stylistically they are still very strongly Prog influenced but the singer`s dominance takes them more toward straight-forward rock. Still a very strong release and a formidable example of how it all sounded then.
