Released in 1974, one year after their previous album, "Gluggo," this was the group's eighth and final album. The final session, performed by familiar members Eddie Hardin, Ray Fenwick, and Pete York, has a smoky silver sound reminiscent of the British rock tradition. An alternate mix version of one album's worth of songs is included as a bonus track.
After "Living On A Back Street" they split once again. Mr. Davis went on to release solo albums that emphasized acoustic blues and jazz. By the late ’70s he had transitioned into a job at Island Records. In 2006 he began regularly touring with various musicians under the Spencer Davis Group banner, often including his original drummer, Pete York.
