It would be f a n t a s t i c if you're able to get Mr Trower on the show!! Cross me fingers!
This album really stands the test of time. Moving up my favourite Trower albums. Love the moods Trower brings out in his music.
Twice removed is my favorite!! I was a freshman in college.. whew where did the time go 😵💫😘😉 great job Pete
Hi Pete, great review of this Robin Trower classic. Take a Fast Train was issued as the B-side of the single Man of The World in 1973. Big fan of the show and the Hudson Valley crew!
Good to see you here Buddy!
Wow, that's amazing I was just thinking to myself I wonder if Pete has ever thought about interviewing Robin Trower and 30 seconds later you say he might be coming on the show! Hope that happens, fingers crossed!!🤞
having robin trower on would be awesome, a true rock guitar legend who is still in our midst,
Hi Pete, I still play this great album on vinyl. I lost count of how many times I saw Robin Trower live.
Cheers Pete. Huge Trower fan. Thanks for reviewing this great debut album. Look forward to the interview
Thanks again Pete!! nothing like talking about Robin especially his early albums like this classic!
No worries Pete/. Like I’ve stated numerous x. Your hands down , best interviewer ever. If you get ROBIN on , fabulous. If not , no worries 👍💯
Nice one, Pete. Hope you manage to get Robin on the channel.
Very much looking forward to your chat with Mr. Trower!
We saw them on the 1st U S tour. Auditorium Theater/ Chicago . Just 2 Marshall stacks and a drum kit. A few house spot lights . Great night of music . I think we had 10th row center seats ( they were great wherever they were). Hard to believe it's been 50 years !
Pete, Great review of the album and overview of the tracks. I'm shocked you never heard 'Take a Fast Train'. My uncle had the original 45, so I got to hear the gem early on. I'll be picking this up if it doesn't end up on Spotify.
LOVE Robin Trower. I just got this on CD and vinyl. Also picked up Go My Way by Trower on vinyl. Awesome musician.
Wow! Would be great to hear an interview with Robin! He's one of my top favourite guitar players of all time too. Nice album review also.
Thanks Pete.
Still remember the day I first heard RT “Daydream” - February 2, 1974 on KSJO in San Jose, CA. Been a fan since..
Great album. Bring on the interview!
Take A Fast Train was B-side to Man of the World. Love this alvum!
'Take a Fast Train' is also found on The Day Of The Eagle compilation. Just to add for those who may have jumped off the Trower bandwagon after his 70's / 80's period that the man is still releasing albums on a regular basis. The album 'Go my Way' from 2000 is maybe his strongest in the latter period of his career. Also 'What Lies Beneath' is also a pretty good album and worth investigating.
"Take a Fast Train" is also on A Tale Untold: The Chrysalis Years (1973-1976)...and "Sinner's Song" was on Trower's At The BBC 1973-1975 (although might not be the exact same version). BTW that set (At The BBC 1973-1975) is stellar. "Man Of The World" is also included plus "Fine Day", "Fool And Me", "Gonna Be More Suspicious", "Confessing Midnight", "It's Only Money" & "In This Place"...I think Trower's 2022 No More Worlds To Conquer was an excellent record. I'd also say that his album run from 2010-2020 has been very strong as well: The Playful Heart through United State Of Mind. The "weakest" of this run is probably 2018's Let There Be A Blues & that still has 5 very good tracks on it. Then again I'm a massive Trower fan😎
I was investigating the song, and found the same compilation you mentioned. What a killer song.

I really love this album. It was my Introduction to Trower's work. Since the curse is real I'll have to buy this one , too. As I did with Alice Cooper's latest reissues on cd.
Great stuff. Great guitarist. Thanks Pete. Hurry up with that interview, I'm not getting any younger... :)
"Take a fast train" is on the "Day of the Eagle: The Best of Robin Trower" album.
The first time I saw Robin Trower was supporting Ten Years After in Munster, Germany 1973 promoting Twice Removed from Yesterday. What an amazing night that was.
Hard to admit that never replaced many of the Trower albums owned with a CD copy since converting that library. Have been recently debating whether to buy anniversary editions anymore but you caught my attention with this. So in the unnamed vendor cart for purchase it goes because this episode coupled with this month's daily episodes of favorite albums That's two out of two for today's new product episodes, Pete. Thanks once again for your commitment to the weekly episodes. Hope SoT lands the interview with him.
Great album and much deserving of a deluxe treatment.
WOW Pete!! i am so hoping to see Trower come on the show! fingers crossed!! have Trower a few times over the years front row in a smaller venue and i would have it no other way, they all amazing experiences to see him that close and the band and him sounded great every time. most certainly some of my most favorite and memorable live gigs! he's a breast!
Great essay Pete. You know you can be very funny. I was grinning all the way through. I love his first album almost as much as Bridge of Sighs.
I had a ticket to see Robin’s band on the bill with the Edgar Winter Group with Rick Derringer back in ‘74. Unfortunately Trower left the tour I believe in an argument over billing. This is one of my lasting regrets. But Edgar with Derringer was great too with no opening act.
Needless to say I will be ordering this new cd directly. Thanks for an enjoyable video…still smiling 😅!!!
I've got the LP plus a few others. Bridge Of Sighs, In City Dreams, For Earth Below and Victims Of The Fury.
Victims is possibly my fave Trower album (and I've got about 40 total Trower albums). I also like In City Dreams a lot because it sounds different (Dewar just sings - Rustee Allen from Sly & The Family Stone plays bass), it's more melancholy/laid back. I'd put it in the same category as Take What You Need & Passion. Really the only Trower album that doesn't work for me is Beyond The Mist (mostly it's the vocals but also inferior sound quality). "The Last Time" is a good track & the title track has some moments. "Time Is Short" & "Back It Up" are better on Back It Up, I prefer the live version of "Bridge Of Sighs" on Living Out Of Time
Wait... Pete likes Robin Trower?!? J/K. 😃 I was expecting this one to come up. I have it ordered, but haven't gotten it yet. I only had the original on LP, so it's nice to get a remastered copy on CD.
I think during Robin's most recent tours (pre-COVID) he did perform "Twice Removed From Yesterday". Seems like I've seen him perform it at least twice.
His best album and one of the best rock-blues albums with a touch of psychedelia ever!!!
And my top fave guitar player
@@robmlisanti mine too! The man is still releasing albums on a regular basis.
great album from one of the great underrated bands
....favorite track is Sinners Song. One of those 'Rosebud' epiphany songs after 50 years of Trower life.... Favorite Album is probably Trower Live.
This is my favorite Trower album . It was also the first one that I got. Hannah and Can't Wait Much Longer and Daydream are my favorites, but the whole record is stellar. Bridge Of Sighs is the classic record, but I got this one at19 or 20, it hit me hard and stayed with me since.
50 years ago we took the 30 minute drive to Tower Records to specifically buy this album. Still have it!
Back then loads of us kids walked around the school corridors with rock albums under the arm - RT was among them and BOS was prob more popular thanx to Too Rolling Stoned. For me this is the first of the classic trilogy and the memories come flooding back - incidentally i've recently found out he only ever played Stoke on Trent once! - no wonder i've never seen him live.
Trower dusted off the title track and played live around 07 and it was incredible. I also don’t get why it wasn’t played live every tour.
Man Of The World/Take A Fast Train was the single 1973.
pre-ordered
And by the way, his current work is great as well.
Robin Trower...................................... Rules
After listening to this album again, I would rank it right up there with Bridge Of Sighs. Lotta cool riffs.
I actually like this album better than Bridge of Sighs. Come to think of it, this album is far and away my favorite Trower release.
Man Of The World was the single.
Take a fast train and some BBC tracks were included on a Twice Removed CD I bought a few years back around 2010?
😃👍
Many thanks for this! If I may trouble you...Every copy of Hannah I've ever heard has a fault @ 1:21 or so. I presume it's that way on the master tape. Has it been improved at all on this release, please? Thanks and best regards.
Never heard so many great guitar solos sung so badly. Ha ha. Top album.
Look like I didn't even have the 2010 remaster, no bonus tracks, so I may need dis.
The drums stand out on the first disc. The 2nd disc could have been remastered better. There's enough room for both to be put on the same disc.
I just wish some reissues would have just the album not extra stuff. I mean it's cool.if you like it. But I prefer full album. Without Xtra b sides or whatever but that's just me
The extras is virtually the only reason why most people buy reissues.
Don't mean to be a naysayer, but maybe next time do a little more research. Most of the "bonus" tracks aren't new (3 are unrelased "mix" tracks), just compiled from other Chrysalis releases (see other Trower fan comments). BTW, "Take a Fast Train" was originally the b-side of "Man of the World" single. Reg Isidore is of course also "late, great".
What crappy packaging, no booklet, they no effort to celebrate 50 years. Of coarse I bought it. But I am very disappointed in the packaging. Like you I have everything ever made by Mr. Trower has ever made. Including all the special editions multipaks. Like you said no love at all. I don't Robin had anything to do with it.
Hi Pete. Great content and channel. The 2010 remastered / reissued cd of Robin Trower's TRFY by ICON💽CLASSIC Records has the bonus track Take A Fast Train as the last track and a nice booklet / essay as well.
