Their first two albums were released in 1969 on Parlophone. Moving to Harvest Records in 1970 the band’s sound changed at the time to a more Pop / Rock feel. They gained a formidable live reputation and released three album son Harvest before joining Sire Records in 1973. The Climax Blues Band racked up their biggest in 1976 “Couldn’t Get it Right” from the “Gold Plated” album. The song went top 10 in both the UK and the USA. Their next huge hit was 1981’s “I Love you”.
