MK II is widely considered Steamhammer’s breakthrough progressive blues-rock album and a cult favorite among underground UK prog collectors.
The album captures the band transitioning from traditional British blues into heavier progressive and proto-hard-rock territory with extended arrangements, electric guitar work, flute, saxophone, and psychedelic influences.
Collectors of Groundhogs, Colosseum, Savoy Brown, Atomic Rooster, and early Jethro Tull often seek out original UK Steamhammer pressings.
Early UK A1/B1 matrix copies are significantly more collectible than later reissues, especially with original inner sleeves and clean vinyl.
