Description:

This remastered version of the original mono U.K. release of MR. FANTASY also includes several single-only tracks. The stereo version of the album has been rereleased under its original U.S. title HEAVEN IS IN YOUR MIND.
Rehearsed and written at a cottage in the Berkshire countryside, Traffic`s debut was former child prodigy Steve Winwood`s first foray into headier territory after a stint playing R&B-fueled rock & roll with the Spencer Davis Group. Rounded out by drummer Jim Capaldi and multi-instrumentalists Chris Wood and Dave Mason, MR. FANTASY included experimentation with vaudeville-inspired numbers ("Berkshire Poppies"), flamenco-flavored fantasy ("Dealer"), and sitar-drenched meditations ("Utterly Simple"). Winwood`s inspired organ playing and soulful singing emerge on cuts like "Coloured Rain." In keeping with the band`s unorthodox approach to composition and arrangement, "Giving To You" offers a funky groove sandwiched between tidbits of an overheard conversation about the relative merits of jazz.
