One of the first albums I bought was Mr Fantasy (along with Cream's Disraeli Gears). Had a different cover (without Mason) and it was definitely in stereo. Great album.

Well, he had a moment as a pop singer but for the last ten years has been back on track. Check out 'About time'In concert he still finishes with a killer version of Mr Fantasy |

How is it that people who were so young and so heavily influenced by hallucinogenic drugs could be so wise beyond their years? Now-a-days when young people do drugs they fire up the World of Warcraft and order delivery food.

Love this, but when (not IF, but When!!!) you buy this (via RP's link of course!) make sure you buy the superior U.S. remastered version called Heaven Is in Your Mind.

F$#%ing great song.
OK, for the rest of you old geezers out there, or for those who lived in the L.A., CA area: does anyone else remember a radio show on Sunday mornings, about things spiritual, that used this as its theme? I used to enjoy tuning that show in when I wasn't still unconscious from the affects of what I did Saturday night...

This song was one of the things I recorded, but it wasn't Traffic (I don't think.) The voices were deeper and there was a lot more bass - in fact, it sounded like the Moody Blues! Was there another version of this song other than the 3 Dog Night version (which is pretty lame, BTW)?
Traffic released 2 versions, one without Dave Mason. 3 Dog Night also did a cover of it. |
