Many of us fell in love with his music upon learning he penned The Rolling Stones' 'It's All Over Now', as well as J Geils Band's 'Looking For A Love'. This faultless reissue marking the 40th anniversary of a soul/funk classic reminds the music world once more that Womack was a genius. Actually, it's better than when I saw them, measuring circa-110dB+ at 200m from the stage! KK The sound is excellent by any measure, a marvel for a live recording.

The CDs include the original LP plus 14 unreleased live tracks, while the single gives us two unreleased demos. Live followed Tusk, but the band covered its entire career, including Peter Green-era's 'Oh Well' plus their best-loved songs: 'Rhiannon', 'Monday Morning', 'Over My Head', 'Go Your Own Way' and enough to fill two LPs.

Warner R2 599176 (two LPs + 7in single + three CDs)Īlthough I didn't see them live until a few years ago, I knew Fleetwood Mac would be breathtaking – this remastered LP from 1980 confirms they were 40 years ago, too. 'Our House', 'Woodstock', 'Helpless', 'Teach Your Children' – every track a gem, and no rock library is complete without it. The sound from the opening track is proof it's unabashedly 'demo-worthy'.
Here is a magnificent '50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition', one of the best so far and one of my all-time fave LPs.
But it's aimed at devotees: three entire CDs contain demos, outtakes and alternates to keep 'em busy for hours. It's on this page instead of the digital because the remastered vinyl is audibly superior to the CD – reason enough for buying the set. If not for Blood, Sweat & Tears, this other magnificent 'difficult second album' would be LP of the Month. 'You Made Me So Very Happy', 'Spinning Wheel'… It's a masterpiece. Despite that fluke (for true idiocy, check out Rolling Stone's 500 Best Albums of All Time), it's an amazing LP, never sounding better than this. David Clayton-Thomas's bellowing vocals, peerless musicians, songs from Laura Nyro, Cream, Billie Holiday, Eric Satie, Motown, Stevie Winwood: how could it miss? It didn't, somehow beating the far superior Abbey Road to Grammy Album of the Year for 1970. Along with Chicago, BS&T showed that 'big band'-orchestrated prog-rock could attract listeners during the psychedelic era. Mobile Fidelity UD1S 2-016 (two One-Step 45rpm LPs)īS&T's 'difficult second album', this slaughtered the debut in sales, establishing the group.
