Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1971 album. This was the only album by the group that had evolved from the ashes of legendary band Locomotive by bass player Mick Hincks and drummer Bob Lamb. Joined by keyboard player Keith Millar and guitarist John Caswell, the group recorded this album for EMI Records in 1970. Bizarrely issued on the Parlophone label instead of EMI's Progressive imprint Harvest, the album originally failed to sell and original LP copies now command sums in excess of œ500 among collectors. A true lost classic, this reissue has been remastered from the original master tapes and includes the rare B-side of the band's only single as a bonus track. Esoteric.

Poetry, prose, and political commentary weave the musical threads of That Dog In Egypt together into a tapestry of rock and roll storytelling. This tapestry is shaded by cascading jams, creating lyrical islands in the midst of a musical sea. Danceable grooves combine with catchy hooks on tunes like 99th Floor (where the waves hit the window) and the title track ("That dog in Egypt/ Sailin' down the Nile/ That dog in Egypt/ A mystery every mile"). Grassy Knoll, Memphis Motel, Dakota Blues mourns the loss of the great social leaders of the sixties, including Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy. The closer, Taj Mahal, sets lyrics clearly on islands within seas of jams, in some places as loose and open as modern jazz.
