Keyboard player and vocalist EDDIE HARDIN and drummer PETE YORK had first played together in the second incarnation of the SPENCER DAVIS GROUP, following STEVE WINWOODs departure to form TRAFFIC. In 1969 HARDIN & YORK struck out on their own to form a highly unique duo utilising powerful Hammond Organ work and percussion to record a series of wonderful albums in the Progressive / Jazz Rock vein. "THE WORLDS SMALLEST BIG BAND" was their second album and featured recordings made at Olympic Studios and material recorded live at De Lane Lea studios in front of a small audience. A popular attraction in Europe, the record remains a noted highlight of their career. This ESOTERIC RECORDINGS reissue includes two bonus tracks.
