2.0 out of 5 stars COLLECTORS BEWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH SOUND QUALITY!, June 22, 2000

By A Customer

COLLECTORS BEWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH SOUND QUALITY!

This CD is a gem it is true BUT SEVERAL CUTS HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THEM ,THEY ARE,"SONG # 5 == "TURPENTINE MOAN",Folks this cut was RE mastered with three times the bass of the other cuts on the CD,think of yourself standing next to the BASS amplifier to get an idea of what i mean. THE Cut # 9 ="MARIE LAVEAU" WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED WITH HUGE AMOUNTS OF BASS AGAIN .TOTALLY BASS DRENCHED SOUND HERE FOLKS ! Lastly is the CUT # 12 "BOOGIE MUSIC",WOW THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN SO EASY TO FIX WITH A LITTLE "EQ"(BASS TONE CONTROL).

"A TOTAL CLASSIC TOTALLY RUINED !

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THESE OLD CANNED HEAT ALBUMS TOP BE REISSUED ALSO BUT THIS CD IS A TOTAL DISSAPOINTMENT !

AKARMA should REMASTER it and put IT OUT WITH "NEWLY-RESTORED " VERSION STICKERED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CD.

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE IS AKARMA'S REMASTERING OF THE OTHER CANNED HEAT CLASSIC "LIVING IN THE BLUES", WOW ! TALK ABOUT WONDERFULLLLLL ,PRISTINE MASTERING WITH NO OVER "BASSIFICATION"!

I HAVE WAITED FOR 30 YEARS TO HEAR THIS ON A GOOD SYSTEM WITH NO POPS OR CLICKS ,Now AKARMA has brought this wonderfull music back to life and current for future generations to enjoy.i wish i could say this about the "BOOGIE WITH CANNED HEAT"ALBUM BUT IT SIMPLY IS NOT T R U E ! ALL We can hope is that AKARMA WILL GET Their "A=KARMA" GOING IN THE RIGHT PLACE ! AND RE=PLACE THE "BOOGIE WITH CANNED HEAT ALBUM,WITH A NEWLY DONE VERSION THAT IS SONICALLY PLEASING AND CORRECT!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Personal Favorite, April 10, 2003

This review is from: Boogie With Canned Heat (Audio CD)

This is a great album. Even without te bonus tracks, it stands up well to the test of time. The reviews previous to mine tell alot about this forgotten jewl. But, they fail to mention that guitarist Henry Vestine was one of the all-time best white blues guitar players. Jimmi Hendrix used to go see him play to learn something from his style.More of a boogie and blues style than blues purist Michael Bloomfield, but just as good. Young music fans and guitar players would do themselves well to become more than familiar with Vestine's fine work (Bloomfield is also a must).I have been listening to this album for over 30 years and I am still not tired of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is great and it's a shame that it's out of print., November 13, 2011

This review is from: Boogie With Canned Heat (Audio CD)

Picked this up on cassette back in '87 and still have fond memories of this. I was 16 and had just discovered Canned Heat. I only knew the hit singles and about their appearance at Woodstock. Well, I wore this tape out from playing it so much. This is a great electric blues album. "On The Road Again" would be the band's first big hit and you still hear it on the oldies stations once in a while. "Amphetamine Annie" is a cool tune with a humorous and dry lyric from the charismatic Bob "The Bear" Hite while "My Crime" and "World in a Jug" are more old school blues that work very well. Like "On the Road Again", "An Owl Song" has Alan Wilson's distinctive vocals and harmonica but with a horn section while "Marie Laveau" is an instrumental with some great solos. "Fried Hockey Boogie" is a long jam where the entire band gets a turn to show off and while it's very good, you have to check out the version on Woodstock Two which is twice as long and just cooks the whole time. "Evil Woman" and "Whiskey Headed Women No. 2" are pretty cool as well. It's a shame that this is out of print on CD. If you're interested and want a taste, this is certainly worth the download or you could pick up Best of Canned Heat or Hooker N' Heat which are both killer.
