(*) Gravado ao vivo no Weser-Ems-Hallen, em Oldenburg, Alemanha, no dia 7 de abril de 1973.

Biografia:

Componente da cena britânica do rock pesado do começo dos anos 70, a Spooky Tooth descendeu da banda bluseira VIPs e do grupo de rock progressivo Art, e compreendia o vocalista Mike Harrison, o tecladista e vocalista Gary Wright, o guitarrista Luther Grrosvenor, o baixista Greg Ridley e o baterista Mike Kellie. 

O grupo angariou simpatizantes através de inúmeros shows e gravou seu primeiro disco, "It's All About", em 1968. "Spooky Two" tornou-se seu álbum mais bem-aceito nos Estados Unidos; depois, Ridley saiu para unir-se à Humble Pie, sendo substituído por Andy Leigh. Na sequência de "Ceremony", lançado em 1970, Wright deixou a banda para formar a Wonderwheel, ao passo que Grosvenor, com o pseudônimo Ariel Bender, vinculou-se à Stealers Wheel e mais tarde à Mott The Hoople. A adição de três membros da Grease Band, de Joe Cocker - Henry McCullough, Chris Stainton e Alan Spenner - não se mostrou suficiente para manter a banda em circulação, e a Spooky Tooth separou-se após o lançamento de "The Last Puff", em 1970. Um reencontro em 1973, com Wright, Harrison e Mick Jones, futuro guitarrista da Foreigner, gerou vários LPs, incluindo o relativamente bem-sucedido "You Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Jaw", mas mudanças de pessoal e a carência de material capacitado a chegar às paradas determinou o cessamento do grupo em 1974. Wright engrenou uma exitosa carreira solo, acumulando sucessos, como "Dream Weaver", e Mike Kellie juntou-se posteriormente à banda punk-pop Only Ones (Steve Huey, AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).
