Formed in Stafford in 1968 by Colin Cooper, the band (originally known as the Climax Chicago Blues Band) recorded their fourth album in 1971 with a lineup of Colin Cooper (vocals, saxophones, harmonica), Pete Haycock (guitar, vocals), Arthur Wood (keyboards), Derek Holt (bass, vocals) and George Newsome (drums). This release has been newly remastered and features three bonus tracks; previously unreleased live recordings. The reissue includes a lavishly illustrated booklet that fully restores the original album artwork and a new essay. Esoteric. Review: What high energy blues rock is all about - CBB was one of the best blues oriented rock bands of their day, and this album had some of their most memorable tracks. They weren't concerned about doing semi-faithful covers of old delta blues songs as was the case with many UK bands of the late '60's, but rather did original rock music with the blues genre only as inspiration. The production/sound engineering on this album is a joy to play on serious audio equipment, with, by today's standards, a minimalist recording style. Each instrument and voice seems very discreet, tight, and up front on playback, and you can even hear dead silence for split seconds sometimes on upbeats. They had an excellent feel for song arrangements, without the self indulgent, overdone, overly long solo bits that are too common on classic rock albums, and CBB had no focus on a rock star front man. Audio of this quality makes you want to turn up the volume, as opposed to cluttered modern mixing that often makes higher volume an annoyance. Review: Even Bluesmen wear argyle socks - This album was once rated by one critic as possibly the best blues album ever. That was in the 70's. I think it still ranks as one of the best. The driving but intricate guitar work is phenomenal. Far, far better than more recent work by this group (which has changed personnel). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BJLN17I | | Best Sellers Rank | #340,545 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #6,535 in Blues Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (21) | | Date First Available | February 23, 2013 | | Label | ESOTERIC | | Manufacturer | ESOTERIC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 4.88 x 5.63 x 0.47 inches; 3.67 ounces | ## Images ![Tightly Knit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51y7XrUvTWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What high energy blues rock is all about *by W***N on January 7, 2013* CBB was one of the best blues oriented rock bands of their day, and this album had some of their most memorable tracks.

When the mood hits you turn it up real load and enjoy St. Michael's Blues with the neighbors. I just love this stuff!! I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys electric blues bands. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/17388196-tightly-knit](https://www.desertcart.at/products/17388196-tightly-knit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
