Absolutely amazingly tight band, So,so,so, underrated, Roy's fantastic Hammond sound, Tab's slick bass runs, And Trevors incredible Drumming so fast accurate and precise, Faultless, plus Roy's brilliant vocal, what isn't there to like!, need I say more....BUT I WILL!!!, I have to be a little biased here and come down and comment on the phenomenal Drumming here, but check out My Funny Valentine, and Love for Sale off the same album Three for All, to realise the consistency of talent on show, WOW!!!, Just blows me away everytime!!!

Many years ago about 1964 to 1966 me and my girlfriend, now wife, used to go a place called Spennymoor in County Durham, where they would play in a night club. Loved them then and love the music now. Avery long time ago!!!!

Born in 63 My mum and dad played the Freewheelers album to death in the late sixties.. How on earth they weren't bigger I will never know.. Just superb like nothing else.. Still one of my fave LPs..

[@schally46]

Their level of musicianship is awesome even by 2016 standards. By mid-Sixties standards they were out of this world. Still sooo very good!

[@nasmithist]

Born 63 , grew up listening to the peddlers ( my dad was a musician) his voice, his organ, Trevor's drums Tabs bass... Phenomenal , everyone I've ever introduce to the peddlers became an instant fan ( my son found three for all in a charity shop on vinyl for a£1 texted me v excited ( and he's no ordinary Joe he's a Mercury nominee lolollol)

Tune and a half.... Pisses on the Monkees from great height....Totally funky..

[@dolmanf]

The Civil Engineering DJ damn straight

[@horowizard]

Pretty powerful when you consider the tune is a protest song about a guy going off to fight in the Vietnam war, hence the line 'And I don't know if I'm ever comin' home."

[@scottsoul64]

Dummers awsome on every track they do

[@thecivilengineeringdj657]

The fantastic Trevor Morais.

[@bradandfudge]

My best friend, Ian McMillan (the poet) and I used to listen to the Peddlers in the late 60's and 70's, and we were and are still great fans. I suppose it was our introduction to jazz.

[@davidmorris937]

[@williamhicks7736]

Out of sight! Really expresses the sentiment, that sublime fear of not coming home... I’m blown away by how good these guy were...

[@Ano12335]

Beautifull feeling,Hammond is soo good.

[@haggidubious]

Wild version...they really take it by the scruff and give it a shake!

Excellent walking fast music.

[@albrown4589]

Thanks man , your comment made me laugh . Unfortunately I was drinking a beer at the time .

[@wimboes50]

amazing talent. Really unusual album cover as I recall just like a box of matches

[@counterpointify]

Great version. The instrumental part (1:43 - 2:28) was used by radio DJ David Colman on his tuesday evening show on German radio WDR 2 in the 70s as the opening tune.

[@wimboes50]

amazingly tight. just listen to the drumming pure genius

[@normanforsey4708]

Why don't we hear more Peddler's music on mainstream media?

[@paulgriffiths3082]

Norman Forsey because our society has been conditioned to accept crap as music.

[@bmeaks]

Awesome sounds from the past, thanks for sharing
