Ecco un altro "classico" che si apre con la memorabile "The Blacksmith". Molto bella la confezione del cd della Shanachie (1990) che presenta un disegno in copertina di Frederick Carlson (ultimo a destra). La versione del 1976 della Chrysalis è più scialba (al centro) ma contiene la nota foto B/N del gruppo scattata da Keith Morris, la stessa foto compare sul retro del cd.
