The one and only album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and vocals.
This was the late Allan Holdsworth's first band. He did indeed write most of the material on this album too.
The year is 1969 and Allan was a young blues guitarist. The Beatles was still around, although just about to record and release their final album.
Igginbottom was one of the many, many blues/jazz bands from Great Britain those days. They got a deal with the, these days, very popular record label Deram. Back in those days, this record label was just trying to survive by releasing cutting edge albums. Albums now revered as classics.
This album is not one of them, though.
This three quarters of an hour long album is a blend of light and fluffy jazz and blues.
The vocals is good and the guitars are pretty good. There songs here are pedestrian and not really up to a good standard. This album is Allan Holdsworth's debut album and that is what it should be remembered for and collected for by those who want everything from one of Great Britains finest ever guitarsts.
