The algorithms pushed your page my way, so I am coming at this article late. I love Mighty Baby, and it is great to see them being written about here. It's good to see you also own an original Head label copy of the LP! It's not an easy LP to find, especially stateside, nor is it cheap when you find a copy.
They have an interesting postscript, and 4/5 members converted to Islam and adopted Sufism, and their music completely changed after their s/t LP. Its follow-up, 'A Jug of Love', is more Grateful Dead jam band'esque in sound but well worth hunting down (if you don't already have it). There have also since been some live and rehearsal recordings released, but all focus on the latter period rather than the first s/t LP era of the band (of these recordings, 'Slipstreams' has the best audio quality).
I love this album, not least because "Egyptian Tomb" played a part in an experience I had that I can only describe as "supernatural": https://danepstein.substack.com/p/the-egyptian-tomb
