Sweet Thursday (album)

[3] It is notable for featuring keyboardist Nicky Hopkins (who worked with the Rolling Stones and The Who among many others) and Bluesbreakers alum Jon Mark (who would go on to form the group Mark-Almond).

[13] An initial European release in 1970 on Polydor (catalogue 2310051) appears to have been made, that featured an alternate album cover depicted a torn-off calendar page resting on a bed of leaves.

[17] AllMusic's Bruce Eder views "Rescue Me" as one of the better tracks, showing the influence that the group members had had, like many others in the British R&B scene, from playing in Zoot Money's Big Roll Band and the Cyril Davies All-Stars.

[16][18] Written by group friend Pat Gunning[3] and named after a short side street in London's Mayfair area, the mid-tempo number, built around acoustic guitar and organ, describes a complex quest for a mysterious lady in blue.

[4] The album was reissued on Great Western Gramophone – a joint venture label formed between Jerry Heller, a manager, and Clive Davis, an executive of Columbia Records[19] – in the US in 1973 (catalogue KZ 32039).

[16] During the second quarter of 1973, college radio stations such as WHUS-FM and WVOF in Connecticut, WVBU-FM in Pennsylvania, and WTUL-FM in New Orleans all reported adding the album to their playlists.

[7] Some CD issues contain two bonus tracks, those being from the group's December 1968 Tetragrammaton single "Getting It Together" backed with "Mary on the Runaround", both composed by Jon Mark.
