Comments and Reviews


OrionsRecordCollection1998 25th Feb 2020		Review Probably one of the more unique pressings of Traffic's Dear Mr. Fantasy. You'll notice the most obvious difference right off the bat when you see the cover; all four band members sitting on a combine tractor amidst a field. Unlike it's US an UK counterparts, the Canadian pressing contains liner notes about the band, pre-Traffic history (i.e. Steve Winwood being a part of the Spencer Davis Group), Traffic's first hit singles Paper Sun and Hole In My Shoe in Canada, and some colourful, yet cheesy "traffic" puns. As for the album itself, it's more identical to the US version with a few exceptions: The track Heaven Is In Your Mind is absent from this release. This contains the full length/uncut version of Paper Sun (4:05). For some inexplicable reason, the US version decided to split the song into two parts (3:23 and 0:53 respectively). To put it simply, the "track" We're A Fade, You Missed This is actually the last minute of Paper Sun. (On a side note, I've heard that the US version had snippets of another Traffic song, Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush play in between some songs. I can't confirm if this is true or not since I've never owned a US copy. However, what I can confirm is that these snippets do not appear on the Canadian version. If anybody owns a US copy, confirmation on this would be appreciated.) With the absent tracks in mind, both sides end with some (unintentionally) excellent songs: No Face, No Name And No Number on side 1 and Dear Mr. Fantasy as the closing track for side 2. Overall, this version is worth picking up if you ever find a copy. Even with these differences in mind, it's still a decent prog rock album to have in your collection. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
