TRAFFIC John Barleycorn Must Die
(2021 Remastered Reissue)

LP 180g Black Vinyl

After a brief disbandment Traffic returned in Summer of 1970 with John Barleycorn Must Die, hitting No5 in the US Billboard Chart and thus making it their highest ever peak position in the US. John Barleycorn would take the bands jazz/rock leanings beyond mere jamming and give Winwood excuse to exercise his expressive voice as punctuation to the extended instrumental sections. Re-Issued individually from the phenomenal 2019 Traffic The Studio Albums 1967-74 Boxset. Remastered from the original tapes, pressed on 180g heavy weight vinyl and artwork caringly overseen and interpreted, this album is a must for any newcomer or indeed, seasoned Traffic fan.
