Back Door (album)
Back Door is the eponymously titled debut studio album of Back Door, released independently in 1972 by Blakey Records. It received wider distribution when it was adopted by Warner Bros. the following year. It introduced the group's virtuoso approach to jazz, funk, soul, blues and hard rock music. In 2005, the album was listed on JazzTimes' top fifty albums released between 1970 and 2005.[2] In 2014 it was re-released on CD, compiled with 8th Street Nites and Another Fine Mess, by BGO Records.[3] The album cover shows a photograph of the back door of the Lion Inn at Blakey Ridge in the North York Moors.
