Traffic
The Studio Recordings 1967-74 [6 LP]
January 18, 2019. For those of you who haven't already acquired through these recordings through the unusual channels, Traffic - The Complete BBC Sessions 1967-68 is a good collection of BBC performances.
July 25, 2016. For fans of Chris Wood, http://chriswood-lunarmusic.com/ is in the process of putting together a box set of 4 CDs, 1 LP (previously unreleased solo album) and 1 book to provide fans with the wide range of music that Chris Wood was involved with.
May 31, 2007. You can now listen to streaming free music from this band as well as others at Wolfgangs Vault.
July 18, 2005. I just noticed that the ezBoard message board that I had set up for this web site had been deleted. Since restoration of the deleted conference is only available to subscribers to their service, and since the activity was relatively light, I not planning on looking for another message board. If you do think a message board is worth while, or you have a message board that you like, let me know and I may promote it here. As always you can contact me here.
March 10, 2001. It looks like I may have been premature in moving to a new web hosting site. I just found out that whenever Tripod.com is having hardware or software problems with their servers, they put up a message for the webmaster that their site is in violation of terms, and the web site has been deleted (instead of a message about system problems and try again later). Anyway, I believed Tripod.com when they said they deleted my account, so I will be moving, and making chromeoxide.com my new home on the web.
March 10, 2001. As long as I am moving my entire site, I decided to make a few changes to the layout of the individual pages, and the web site in general, including (but not limited to) I removed the counter, and moved the listings of mirror sites to the bottom of the page, ...
March 6, 2001. Sometime between March 1 to March 5, 2001 Tripod deleted my account/web site. The last stats Tripod gave me were 9,000+ visitors per month. Since my site is so popular, I have decided to keep it going, in spite of this major setback. But rather than trying to build up another free web site, and possibly deal with this problem again, I decided go with CommandLine.net to host the new chromeoxide.com.
October 31, 2000. The new Chrome Oxide Music Collectors Pages Message Board is provided by EZBoard.
October 31, 1999. There used to be a complete listing of all the bands featured on this site at the bottom of each page on this site. The complete band list has now been moved to the Site Map.
Back in June 1997 when I started this site, the index at the bottom of the page seemed like a good idea. Due to the amazing growth of this site, I now think that the Site Map is a better way to do it.
I will continue to list the featured band of the month at the bottom of each page on this site.
December 3, 2002 CD Now is undergoing changes, and asked that ALL links be removed.
October 28, 1999 I signed up with CD Now.
October 22, 1999. The Chrome Oxide Music Collector Pages web site hit the big time! And I didn't even know it.
Tripod stats showed that this web site had more than 4,000 unique visitors last month (September 1999). Because of that, Tripod has increased my web space from 11mb to 50mb.
May 21, 1999. On the advice of legal counsel, we have now added a copyright notice, and legal disclaimer to the bottom of each page on this web site.
March 31, 1999. I started a new section on this page, Classifieds. Now, if someone is interesed in putting an ad here, or I find something I think is worthwhile, there is a place for it.
March 16, 1999. Thanks to a recent visitor to this page, we now have a logo for the Chrome Oxide Music Collectors Pages, as well as a new background and seperator bars. There may be additional changes to look forward to as well.
October 26, 1998. I just finished creating this page. :-)
INTRO:
[Top (page index)] [Up] [Down] [Bottom (site index)]
Traffic, a late 1960s band from England has been described as a psychedelic band with folk, blues, rock and jazz influences. Steve Winwood had only recently left the Spencer Davis Group (R & B/blues/rock and roll), and with Dave Mason, Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood spent a few months in seclusion creating a new band and a new sound.
Even though they only created two complete albums during their time together as a band (a third album was filled out with some studio tracks and some live tracks) their records still sound good, and are worth checking out. During this period (April 1967 to January 1969), the creative differences caused Dave Mason to quit, and join and quit the band. The first American LP was released long enough after it had been released in England, that his name was even removed from the credits.
In February 1969, Steve Winwood joined Eric Clapton in Blind Faith. That band didn't work out either, and in less than a year, Steve Winwood was back in a new version of Traffic, but without Dave Mason. While Steve Winwood did continue to use the same name as of old, it just wasn't the same sound for me.
Chris Wood died of liver failure July 12, 1983.
Get the first three albums.
Comments and corrections would be appreciated.
And of course, any audio-video-print additions to my collection would be appreciated.
I am also interested in getting wider exposure for this site. So links from your site to mine would be appreciated. And if you know of any sites that allow/encourage submission, I would also appreciate knowing about them as well.
Do you have any articles, books, albums, tapes, CDs, ... on this band that you would like reviewed and / or integrated into this page?
Do you have any other band that you would like to see a page for on this site?

MusicStack looks like a good source of used music items
(LPs, CDs, posters, ...).
As always, let me know what you think.
Back in October 1999 I put up links to CD-Now so that visitors could easily link to the related band pages and instantly see which items were still in print/available for purchase. CD-Now no longer has that option. For the moment I am putting in Amazon.com search boxes. Amazon.com doesn't easily allow for links to individual band pages in the same way that CD-Now used to. So, instead of me being able to create direct links, I have put up the Amazon.com search box instead. So you can still go to a page with the various bands products, buy you now need to go through a search box.
As always, let me know what you think.
