Like a vintage wine, Sir Lord Baltimore's first album, Kingdom Come, was deemed to be nothing special when it was unleashed in 1970, but after aging for years in the dusty cellars of musical memory, its groundbreaking sonic maelstrom spun of savage volume and distortion would ultimately be vindicated for presaging the rise of heavy metal (Kingdom Come indeed). None of this was of much use to the Brooklyn natives back in 1971, however, as they prepared to reenter the studio with newly added fourth member, Joey Dambra (brother of lead guitarist Lou), for a second, and, unbeknownst to them, final time. What's more, the band's powerful manager, Dee Anthony (Humble Pie, Peter Frampton, Joe Cocker, etc.), had recently convinced them to sever ties with their discoverer and creative advisor, Mike Appel, and although Anthony made good on his promise of recording contracts (with Mercury) and high-profile gigs (opening for Black Sabbath, among others), SLB seemed wanting for guidance on their sophomore, eponymous album.
