I own Good king bad on CD with the bonus track I first had it on vinyl in the 80s and it became an instant favorite especially "Cast your Fate to the wind" which got some airplay on both radio and in my region TV as background music on a PBS station and doubled as sign on music for the same station for a brief time. Still a great album and a Great closer to Benson's CTI series from here he was Breezin to Warner Brothers so to speak and went on to Greater success
