With the bright talent that was a young Steve Winwood, The Spencer Davis Group burst into commercial success with their fifth 45, 'Keep On Running', which was a UK No.1 and a hit all across Europe. 'Somebody Help Me' was also a UK No. 1 and a European hit record. 'Gimme Some Lovin'' and 'I'm A Man' were both US Top Ten hits. Winwood left in 1967 to form Traffic and the band limped on, before finally calling it a day in 1974. Digitally remastered and slipcased and with new notes by Charles Waring.
