I was always led to believe that the Al Wilson on Wand ("Help Me") was not the same Al Wilson.
I still like "Passport" played from the LP in the 70s. Also "50/50" from the same LP.
As far as the "The Snake" goes yes I did dance to it back in the day, but wouldn't want to hear it played out.
I don't hate it, there are loads records that have been played that are worse.
