Editorial Reviews

#10, originally released in 1973, represented The Guess Who's 10th album with lead singer/pianist Burton Cummings at the helm. Appropriately, #10 was more focused on Cummings' voice and songs than the Guess Who albums that immediately preceded it. While this caused some dissention in the band, the music by no means suffered. #10 is among The Guess Who's more underrated albums, but includes a typically strong and diverse set of songs, touching on country-rock ("Lie Down," a revisit of Bachman-Cummings' "Miss Frizzy"), prog ("Musicione") and incisive, orchestrated balladry (the hit single "Glamour Boy," presented here in both its original version and in a stripped-down, non-orchestrated mix as a bonus track). In-depth liner notes by Guess Who authority Ralph Chapman (Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage, Metal Evolution) draw on commentary from Cummings, drummer Garry Peterson, guitarist Donnie McDougall, bassist Bill Wallace, and arranger Allan Macmillan. Remastered by Vic Anesini, #10 is the sixth release in Iconoclassic's acclaimed Guess Who reissue series.

This is one of my favorite Guess Who albums, and is arguably their most underrated as well. I've compared this new reissue to the old Canada disc from the early 1990's, as well as the 2004 2-der disc. The 1990's disc sounded OK, if not a little anemic and thin. The old 2-fer disc sounds horrible. The sound on this disc is full and warm sounding. This new disc has a lot of definition and there's a nice bottom end. The guitar work really shines through on this disc. The artwork is included in full, and the liner notes are informative for you GW fanatics. I learned some new things in the notes. And the bonus track is a brand new mix of Glamour Boy without the overdubs (strings, horns, and harp) or the added applause in the intro and middle sections (which were taken from the 1972 Paramount gig). Better yet, the song comes to a close and there's no fade.

Run, don't walk and pick this one up. You'll be glad you did. Iconoclassic does reissues right! Here's to hoping Iconoclassic will do more Guess Who issues in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing forgotten album! August 14, 2012
By AK87
Format:MP3 Music|Amazon Verified Purchase
This album is an amazing album from the band's post Bachmann days. Burton Cummings has taken over the majority of all songwriting duties and does not disappoint. This is a complete album in which you find yourself wanting more! I picked it up on vinyl at a shop only previously knowing how much I enjoyed their greatest hits album. I was very impressed and eventually bought the mp3 album as well. After hearing this amazing album I began buying all the post Bachmann albums and highly recommend the Flavours album as well. All the musicians are on point and as usual Burton showcasing one of the best voices and interesting lyrics the world has ever heard. Highlights include - Lie down, Glamour boy, Take it off my shoulders, Cardboard Empire, and Miss frenzy (but all songs are great).

5.0 out of 5 stars I Miss Artificial Paradise !!!! August 12, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
After not much commercial success with the group effort on previous release, "Artificial Paradise", in early 1973 Burton laid down the law. He proclaimed he was writing & singing ALL the material on their next release, # 10, or he was quitting. This didn't go down well with the rest of the band & lead to the demise of the best Guess Who lineup ever. They would hold it together for one last album (Road Food), but that would be it. In my opinion, this was a big mistake. Artificial Paradise is my favorite GW album. I really liked the "group" approach with the lead vocals & writing. Just look at the Beatles, lead vocal & writing contributions from all 4 (& you can't get better than them). It showed the band was really maturing & getting away from its "pop" identity from the "These eyes" & "Laughing" days. Don't get me wrong, these were GREAT songs & Burton's voice was one of the best in rock music, but I really liked the diversity this lineup had. ALSO, without a doubt, Artificial Paradise was the best produced & best sounding GW album.

Now, #10: Burton did do all the vocals on this as promised but did back off a little bit as far as the writing. There are small contributions from other band members, but the majority of the tunes are Burton's. I didn't think so at the time but looking back now at the Guess Who & Burton some 40 years later, Burton was at his best when writing with someone. Although he did pen some great songs by himself (Albert Flasher, Orly & Star Baby to name just a few), he did his best when working with either Randy Bachman, Kurt Winter, Bill Wallace, Donnie McDougall & later, Domenic Troiano.

As you may have guessed by now, this isn't one of my favorite GW albums. I gave it 5 stars because of the usual great job Iconoclassics did with the reissue but it's probably the one I've listened to the least over the past 40 years. However, Like all GW albums, it does have its gems. "Take it off of my shoulders", "Glamour Boy", "Cardboard Empire" & "Just let me sing" are the highlights but I could take or leave the rest of this group of melancholy tunes. If you sum up the writing for the entire album, you'd have to say the band & especially Burton, weren't exactly happy with things at this time.

The stripped down version of Glamour boy is a nice addition as a "bonus cut"

Now, to the sound. As mentioned above, Iconoclassics did its usual great job (far superior to the two Canadian # 10 releases), although # 10 just was "average" sounding to begin with. The original stereo vinyl had somewhat of a bass heavy mix, perhaps lacking a little bit in detail, especially when compared to previous release "Artificial Paradise". The BEST sounding version of # 10 is actually the CD-4 "Quad" release. Even if you don't have 4 channel equipment, if you still have a good turntable, the Quad is worth a listen. Brighter, more detail & slightly different mixing than the stereo version. Sealed Quad #10 albums can still be had on ebay for around $20.00.

The liner notes are great (as usual) & very informative.

Now, "POWER IN THE MUSIC" ............ PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
