...Rather, it was the response of their American label, Epic Records, to the band's achieving a number six single with the title track, with manager Giorgio Gomelsky selecting the cuts. The quasi-progressive "For Your Love," dominated by guest artist Brian Auger's harpsichord, is juxtaposed with hard-rocking blues-based numbers, almost all of which featured departed lead guitarist Eric Clapton (who is mentioned nowhere on the LP), with current lead guitarist Jeff Beck on just three tracks. The Clapton cuts, although primitive next to the material he was soon to cut with John Mayall, have an intensity that's still riveting to hear four decades later, and was some of the best blues-based rock & roll of its era. The three Beck sides show where the band was really heading, beyond the immediate success of "For Your Love" -- "I'm Not Talking" and "I Ain't Done Wrong" were hard, loud, blazing showcases for Beck's concise blues playing, while "My Girl Sloopy" was the first extended jam to emerge on record from a band on the British blues scene; Beck and company make their point in an era where bands were seldom allowed to go more than four minutes on even an album track -- these boys could play and make it count.

Porter Wagoner - The Definitive Collection (2016)
There have been plenty of Porter Wagoner compilations released over the years, but Real Gone Music's 2016 double-disc set The Definitive Collection is the only collection to dig deeply into Wagoner's solo career. Certainly there has been no shortage of Wagoner CDs -- usually budget-line quickies, plus a complete box of his work with Dolly Parton from Bear Family, a pair of a single CDs from RCA highlighted by 2002's RCA Country Legends, and a host of conceptual compilations such as The Rubber Room, issued in 2006 by Omni. Wagoner certainly had a gothic streak so melodramatic it bordered on kitsch, but the last decade of reissues from Omni and Bear Family -- who played up Wagoner's dark side through their triple-disc The Cold Hard Facts of Life -- tended to emphasize this trend over Wagoner's actual hits, which is what The Definitive Collection puts back into the equation. Over the course of 40 songs, almost all of the big hits he had between 1954's "Company's Comin'" and 1974's "Highway Headin' South" are here -- the exceptions are the duets with Norma Jean and Dolly Parton, of course -- and what's striking is how the darker moments feted retroactively are balanced by lighter, livelier moments like "Big Wind" or simple roadhouse ballads like "Turn the Jukebox Up Louder." The result is a richer portrait of Wagoner, one that shows why he was an Opry favorite: he may have indulged in heated tragedy but he was also an entertainer and these sides are showcased on this, the best compilation ever assembled on this seminal Nashville star.

Ramsey Lewis - Hot Dawgit - The Anthology; The Columbia Years 1972-1989 (2016)
2016 two CD release. Hot Dawgit - The Anthology: The Columbia Years is a luxurious set by the legendary Ramsey Lewis, spanning the award-winning musician, producer and composer's 17-year tenure with Columbia Records. Features 37 tracks including all of Ramsey's charted hits for the label, selected key singles and notable LP cuts drawn from among the eighteen albums he recorded for the label. The Chicago-born octogenarian began his journey as a recording artist at Chess Records in 1966, achieving chart success with his soulful covers of such tracks as 'The In Crowd', 'Wade In The Water' and 'Hang On Sloopy'. In 1972, Ramsey - initially with his famed trio (whose ranks had included a young Maurice White, founder of Earth, Wind & Fire as drummer) - began recording a series of critically-acclaimed albums for Columbia including Upendo Ni Pamoja, Funky Serenity and Solar Wind. In 1974, teaming with White - whose EW&F group was in it's ascendancy - Ramsey scored his biggest across-the-board hit with the now-timeless classic 'Sun Goddess' (the full eight-minute-plus version of which is included here). This stellar anthology, compiled by SoulMusic Records' David Nathan with superb notes by renowned UK writer Charles Waring including extensive quotes from Ramsey himself, with top grade remastering by Nick Robbins, features production work from a range of producers including Ramsey, Larry Dunn, Tom Tom Washington and Bert DeCoteaux. Also included are three tracks from Ramsey's initial 1984 pairing with song stylist supreme Nancy Wilson as well as full length versions of some of Ramsey's charted hits including 'Kufanya Mapenzi' and 'Brazilica'. (The Guardian)
Ramsey's later period, 1972 to 1989. Most jazz and R&B fans are familiar with the legendary songs that Ramsey Lewis recorded in the 1960s on the Chess and Cadet label. Less well known, or perhaps less beloved, are the songs he recorded in the 1970s and 1980s for the Columbia label. This 2-CD compilation covers the years 1972 to 1989 when Ramsey was on Columbia and shows that he was still making some fantastic music. (NPR)

Richard Thompson - Acoustic Classics II (2017)
Richard Thompson released Acoustic Classics in 2014. Although he has performed and recorded in both full band and solo acoustic style throughout his 35 year solo career, this was a studio-quality offering which in some cases, updated prior acoustic recordings (such as the songs Beeswing or 1952 Vincent Black Lightning) and in other cases, stripped the full band studio version down to just the essentials (Shoot Out The Lights, When The Spell Is Broken).
Welcome to the sequel. 3 of these 14 songs hark back to Fairport Convention circa 1968-69 (Genesis Hall, Meet On The Ledge, Crazy Man Michael) and two from 70's collaborations with then-wife Linda Thompson (Jet Plane In A Rocking Chair, A Heart Needs A Home). The rest span a large portion of Richard's solo career all the way up to a song from 2007's Sweet Warrior album (Guns Are The Tongues).
You won't hear this and think. "Gosh, it's so sad to hear how 68 year old Richard has lost his guitar dexterity and rich, soothing voice". Despite a long and rigorous career of touring and recording, his fretboard prowess and North London tenor remain remarkably and consistently intact. If anything, the versions of songs from early in his solo career (such as She Twists the Knife Again or Devonside) are arguably performed more fluidly now than they were in the 80's. Compared to how Bob Dylan's voice sounded on, say, his Together Through Life album (recorded when he was 67), Thompson's singing is positively angelic.
This is the purest way to savor the impeccable songwriting and wickedly complex guitar skills of this living treasure. There's a lot of good full-band material in Thompson's deep catalog of excellence, but there's something extra special about getting the unvarnished stuff straight from the source in pristine quality.

Many thanks for the Porter & Ramsey.
@gyro1959 ty for another Beatles covers and ty RYP for The Yardbirds always welcome here
You are welcome Montysmovies for The Beatles and The Yardbirds.
Gyro, thanks for sharing the early birds...great.
RYP asked...
Why is Jeff Beck on the front cover and Eric Clapton on the back? A mistake?
Eric Clapton had left the Yardbirds before the LP release, so Jeff's picture was put on the front, and no mention of Eric was made, although he played on many of the tracks. The front cover is the original LP cover, and the back cover is new to this re-issue, so Eric is shown.
Bob W.
Bob W.,
thank you very much for the detailed explanation!
Thanks For Ramsey !
Many thanks for the Ramsey Lewis set! And keep the Mind, Body and Soul sets coming - they're just great for all three!
