Blood Sweat and Tears- New Blood-LP

Blood, Sweat & Tears’ 1972 album New Blood captures a pivotal moment as Jerry Fisher steps in on vocals, steering the band into fresh jazz-rock fusion territory. This fifth studio effort includes a thoughtful take on Herbie Hancock’s "Maiden Voyage" alongside a stirring cover of Bob Dylan’s "Down In The Flood," while "So Long Dixie" stands out as the group’s final entry into the Billboard Hot 100 top 40. The cover art, featuring two male peacocks perched on a garden wall, cleverly nods to the album’s title and the band’s evolving identity—nothing like a bit of feathered symbolism to mark a new chapter. This 1972 vinyl pressing offers a genuine snapshot of the band’s sound during this lineup shift, ideal for listeners curious about Blood, Sweat & Tears beyond their early hits. The record is graded VG+, indicating some light surface marks and minor paper scuffs typical of a well-played copy, but these should not overshadow the listening experience. For those who appreciate the interplay of rock and jazz elements from this era, this pressing balances historical interest with solid everyday playability.
