 i wonder whether the included recording of ''medicated goo'' is the very sharp charting single version, or the greatly inferior ''last exit'' album track, which sounds like a rehearsal - it even includes the length of the intended sudden silent break being counted out by (parts of) the rhythm section continuing playing a basic riff, so everyone else comes back in on time...

 @robozuc scans appreciated, especially of the notes. (wish i could provide scans of items i enter...)

the second page of the notes contains two ah, ''inaccuracies'' committed by universal/colin escott:

at the time and during their two lives, the group(s) named ''traffic'' were not regarded as ''a supergroup'', nor written up as one sfaicr. they were, perhaps, the first group - certainly one of the first groups - to find a relatively cheap house, cottage or unused pub to rent together, to practice, jell as a group, and to compose and work up a set-list of songs to perform on their first lp and live tour: fairport convention memorably did likewise, before ''liege and leaf'', with the reorganisation forced upon them (and again, later on after sandy denny left them to form fotheringay) iirc.
- ''getting it together in the country'' or ''retiring to the country to get it together'' very soon became something of a cliché...

t'other is that when they broke up (for the first time), there was no intention declared by the group members of re-forming after one year - or any other length of time, not even an indefinite length.
''last exit'' was cobbled together, consisting of half an lp's-worth of 'completed, but unfinished' studio tracks, really needing further work on them°, and a very poorly-recorded (on a cassette recorder?) live at the fillmore west side of just two tracks, to fill...

(° - the single of ''medicated goo'' is a different recording, much tighter and with a much cleaner sound than that of the album track.)

''blind faith'' was intended to last, and they'd begun recording a second lp before they split up over ''irreconcilable personal and musical differences'' - ginger baker being notoriously impossible to get on with - alcohol and/or certain pharmaceuticals having at least a little to do with these problems, as he later stated in a documentary; but he was musically driven, too, and inclined to be intolerant of anyone with a musical vision even a little different from his.

when ''blind faith'' broke up, winwood started work on recording a solo lp, calling on a variety of friends that were part of the music scene around island records - and it turned into a reunion, and then the re-formation of ''traffic'' along the way through the recording sessions: and the solo lp, into one of the all-time classic albums, ''john barleycorn must die'', by traffic.
