Rock (& fusion) Guitar History This isn't "buzzy, fuzzy flash," but soulful, melodic rock & roll guitar that's a must-have for fans of guitar instrumentals and great "cruisin' music. Jeff Beck was/is not only an innovator, he does it best. " There's a track or two on each disc that I forward past, but with these three discs you can make one killer "mix CD" or load up your MP3 player.
The Best Way to Get There...
Three Great Albums. . Jeff Beck at the height of his artistic journey. Let's not overlook all of the other gifted musicians on these discs. The guitar gods sometimes get all the credit. If you are just getting into Jeff Beck and his bands, this would be the best and most economical way to "Get There". . . Check out "Rough & Ready" if you can get the CD somewhat economically. Many fans forget about that one. One last thought. . . these cats can still ROCK!!! Love to see you live again. .
triple threat
cd set contains "blow by blow" and "wired" and the last disc "there and back" all put out by epic records. for any old or new jeff beck fans this is a great collection of jeff becks best songs all in one very affordable box set. i think the best way to listen to this set{if possible} is just put all three disc in and press shuffle all. cd contains classics like "cause we ended as lovers" to "blue wind" to "the pump" .
Perfect choice for the undecided!
After my initial disappointment in"Who Else!" (I don't know, maybe at 40, I'm to old to like the techno stuff, maybe Jeff was just better 25 years ago!), I wanted to replace one of my old vinyl albums with a CD. I have been a Beck fan since high school/college and own allthree of these albums on vinyl. Going back through my collection, I found that my 3 favorite Beck releases were Blow By Blow (1975), Wired (1976), & There and Back (1980).
Since I had limited myself to buying just one of these, I had to make a decision! I was having a hard time deciding which was my favorite when I found this box set containing all 3!. . . (all 3 are better records than "Who Else!").
The Breakthrough Years
These three albums chart JB's quantum leap for me, and I urge you to listen to "Cause we've ended as Lovers", "Led Boots", and "The Pump" (to take one from each) as demonstrations of Beck@s mastery. For A Brit, this is unbelievable value. It's a personal thang, but next Hendrix, he discovered how to read a soul out of a guitar like no other. . . there are many really powerful tracks in this collection, and I cannot see a lover of electric guitar ever regretting stumping up the bucks for this slice of "Beethoven late quartet" level inspiration,beauty,and sheer octane.
