All compositions by Stan Tracey except ‘Lover Man’ (Ram Ramirez/Jimmy Davis)
Recorded live at 100 Club London 3 November 1975
Originally released as STEAM SJ 102.

Stan’s profile has never been higher. Ever since the BBC2 programme on Stan the “STEAM” recordings are the ones that fans old & new have been desperate for.

If you bend an ear to the music on this album then you'll know that it speaks for itself - and so does the reaction from the audience. If you have "Under Milk Wood" then you'll also know that this is Stan Tracey's strongest band since that time, and the pianist himself is in his imperious prime. In the past couple of years he has played as if his musical life were begun all over again, and he puts it down to working with the younger musicians like the members of his present Quartet. John Fordham(from original issue)

This double CD presents the whole evening's performance (the quartet playing at their peak at a jam-packed 100 Club in London's Oxford Street) and includes 7 tracks in addition to the original vinyl release."Captain Adventure” has become something of an underground classic and the kind of rarity which has long needed to be restored to a wider audience." Simon Spillett (from liner notes)
