Not real clear on the history behind this one. I am looking forward to hearing more of Harrison's work with Freedom and Snafu; but have yet to do so. Also, I am not exactly sure how this was marketed back in the day, if at all. However granting all that, I really like this CD. Considering the diversity of the talent employed, it does have a bit of a thrown together, mismatched feel. However most of the songs are good. Several songs have a pretty heavy guitar oriented bite to them (I am taking it for granted that these are the Tony Iommi contributions, although that's not clear from the credits). There is also some funk and some straight ahead southernish rock, not all of it heavy. If you have a broad taste for classic rock of diverse styles; this unique piece is highly recommended.
