About

Since Traffic originally planned its self-titled second album as a double LP, the group had extra material left over, some of which saw release before the end of 1968 (there was a new, one-off single released in December, “Medicated Goo”/”Shanghai Noodle Factory”). In January 1969, Steve Winwood announced the group’s breakup. That left Island Records, the band’s label, in the lurch, since Traffic had built up a considerable following. As far as Island was concerned, it was no time to stop, and the label quickly set about assembling a new album. The non-LP B-side “Withering Tree,” “Medicated Goo,” and “Shanghai Noodle Factory” were pressed into service, along with “Just for You,” the B-side of a solo single by on-again, off-again member Dave Mason that had been released originally in February 1968 and happened to feature the rest of the members of Traffic as sidemen; a short, previously unreleased instrumental; and two extended jams on cover songs from a 1968 live appearance at the Fillmore West. It all added up to more than half an hour of music, and that was enough to package it as the posthumous Traffic album Last Exit. Actually, Last Exit isn’t bad as profit-taking products go. “Just for You” is one of Mason’s elegant folk-pop songs, including attractive Indian percussion. “Medicated Goo” has proven to be one of Traffic’s more memorable jam tunes, despite its nonsense lyrics, and the equally appealing “Shanghai Noodle Factory” is hard not to interpret as Winwood’s explanation of the band’s split. And while the cover material seems unlikely, the songs are used as platforms for the band to jam cohesively. So, Traffic’s third album, thought at the time of its release to be the final one, has its isolated pleasures, even if it doesn’t measure up to its two predecessors.

В октябре 1968-го стартовало американское турне в поддержку альбома, в самом начале которого Мэйсон был вновь изгнан из группы. По окончании же гастролей было объявлено о роспуске "Traffic". Однако Уинвуд был связан контрактом на выпуск пяти альбомов и поэтому в 1969 году был выпущен "Last Exit", представлявший собой сборник неизданных записей и концертных номеров.

About
Eng
My entry to ”Traffic” was the single that was released from this live album. It was clearly labelled ”Traffic” and it was of course the great rendition from the Spencer Davis Group: ”Gimme Some Lovin”.
Mason was back for a few live appearances and two songs out of his first album are featured in this live testimonial (”Sad And Deep As You” and ”Shouldn’t Have Took More Than You Gave”). But even if the latter is particularly very much soul oriented, the final guitar part is so good, that I ended up by liking this one.
What was amazing with this band were the live performances. Their jamming abilities, the way that they re-invented studio tracks was quite an experience. Some of it could be experienced during the live side from their third album: ”Last Exit” ot the bonus tracks available on the CD edition for ”John Barleycorn?”.
There is unfortunately not too much of it here. The very good ”40,000 Headmen” remains a classic rensdition but the extended version of ”Dear Mr. Fantasy” is a highlight. The wild guitar is a great moment of rock music by all means and the crazy beat is superbly introducing the phenomenal version of ”Gimme?”. I recommend this song to all great guitar lovers (to which I do belong).
Some thirty years later (I bought the single in December ’71), my favourite tracks is by far the luminous ”Gimme Some Lovin”. An orgy of rhythm, keys, drums and extravaganza. A huge track indeed which definitely raises the level of this album.
It almost starts as the gorgeous ”Soul Sacrifice” version from Woodstock and I can only be thankful to this album version which allows me to listen to the whole of this song without having to turn the single record (but, in those times, I taped it on cassette to enjoy a full representation: but the fade alas out could not be avoided).
This album starts with the third track. It’s a pity that a song as ”Freedom Rider” or ”John Barleycorn?” was not integrated into this record instead of the first two songs which are weak.
I would have liked to rate this album with seven out of ten; but since the last four tracks are so good, I upgrade it to four stars.

В 1970-м Стив начал работу над сольным альбомом, но вскоре решил привлечь к этому делу Капалди и Вуда, и в результате "John Barleycorn Must Die" вышел под вывеской "Traffic". Начав интенсивные гастроли команда взяла к себе басиста Рика Греча, а чуть позже в состав были добавлены барабанщик Джим Гордон и перкуссионист Рибоп Кваку Ба. Даже Дэйв Мэйсон отвлекся на время от сольной работы и поучаствовал в британском турне "Траффика".
Хотя с выпуском концертника "Welcome to the Canteen" контрактные обязательства перед лейблом были исполнены группа приступила к записи нового студийного альбома.
