Traffic (Traffic album)
''Traffic'' is the second studio album by the English rock band Traffic, released in 1968 on Island Records in the United Kingdom as ILP 981T (mono)/ILPS 9081T (stereo), and United Artists in the United States, as UAS 6676 (stereo). It peaked at number 9 in the UK albums chart〔(Chart Stats )〕 and at number 17 on the ''Billboard'' 200.〔(Traffic in the USA Charts ), Allmusic. Retrieved 9 August 2011.〕 It was the last album recorded by the group before their initial breakup.
==Background and content==
In January 1968, after some initial success in Britain with their debut album ''Mr. Fantasy'', Dave Mason had departed from the group. He produced the debut album by the group Family, containing in its ranks future Traffic bass player Ric Grech, while Traffic went on the road.〔''Traffic'', 1999 reissue Island Records IMCD 265 546498-2, liner notes p. 4.〕 In May, the band had invited Mason back to begin recording the new album.
Mason ended up writing and singing half of the songs on the album (including his biggest hit "Feelin' Alright?"), but making scant contribution to the songs written by Jim Capaldi and Steve Winwood. His flair for pop melody had always been at odds with the others' jazz ambitions, evidenced by the dichotomy seen for the songs on this album, and by October he was again out of the band.〔Nick Logan and Bob Woffinden, editors. ''The Illustrated New Musical Express Encyclopedia of Rock''. New York: Harmony Books, 1977, p. 234.〕 He would return one more time for a tour and album in 1971 to run out the band's contract.
''Traffic'' was reissued for compact disc in the UK on 11 January 2000, with five bonus tracks, two from the soundtrack to the United Artists film ''Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush'' and three from ''Last Exit''. In the US, the remastered reissue of 27 February 2001 included mono single mixes of "You Can All Join In," "Feelin' Alright?," and "Withering Tree." The original album was produced by Jimmy Miller. The remasters were assisted in their production by Jim Capaldi.
