First Exit

Steve Winwood formed Traffic with Jim Capaldi, Dave Mason, and Chris Wood in 1967. In the spirit of the times, the group was intended to be a cooperative, with the members living together in a country cottage in Berkshire and collaborating on their songs. Signed to Island Records their single "Paper Sun," peaked in the U.K. Top Five in July 1967 and also spent several weeks in the lower reaches of the charts in America.

Traffic toured Europe in the summer of 67 and the live recording that comprises this album was made for radio broadcast, this time in Sweden at Radiohuset, Stockholm on Sept. 12th, 1967. It has been newly mastered for vinyl.
