"As responsible as any for inventing 'Big Band Rock' — following the Buckinghams but beating Tower of Power, Chicago and the Flock by a year or more — BS&T showed snooty cynics that serious musicianship worthy of jazz aficionados could blend seamlessly with blues-y rock, without sinking to the excesses of prog-rock. This set contains the group's first four albums (1968-71), from the Al Kooper / Blues Project orgins of their debut, Child Is Father To The Man, to the height of their hit-making period with BS&T 4, with increasing quantities of classical content, eg. Satie. Prescient selection of material from Nilsson, Tim Buckley, Laura Nyro and Randy Newman, sublime performances, superb sound. A triumph." — Sound Quality = 90% — Ken Kessler, HiFi News, December 2017, Digital Album Choice of the month!

"Horn bands" were scarce when in October 1968 their self-titled album launched Blood, Sweat & Tears into the music stratosphere, becoming the No. 1 album in the world.
