Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed, latest run of the 2016 Direct Metal Mastering 2LP reissue. Newly remastered from the original analog tapes and pressed on 180gm audiophile vinyl. One disc features the original 1969 stereo mix and the other, the 1973 'Beginnings' stereo mix. Gatefold jacket, custom hype sticker on shrink. "This might be the best debut album ever delivered by an American blues band, a bold, powerful, hard-edged, soulful essay in electric blues with a native Southern ambience. Some lingering elements of the psychedelic era then drawing to a close can be found in "Dreams," along with the template for the group's on-stage workouts with "Whipping Post," and a solid cover of Muddy Waters' "Trouble No More." There isn't a bad song here, and only the fact that the group did even better the next time out keeps this from getting the highest possible rating." All Music Guide - Bruce Eder
