Editorial Reviews

The first album by Californian blues-rock legends, Pacific Gas and Electric, reissued for the first time and enhanced by the addition of almost three quarters of an hour's worth of previously unissued material from the album sessions.

Reissued with the approval and complete co-operation of the surviving members of PG & E, this deluxe edition also features many previously unpublished shots of the band performing at late 60s music festivals and a sleeve note that draws on the reminiscences of key PG & E members Brent Block and Frank Cook.

The PG & E website has been trumpeting the release of this set for almost a year - which is how long it's been in the making - and demand for recent CD reissues of their subsequent Columbia albums indicates that there'll be strong sales for the hardest to find of all their original albums and the one that's been out of print for the longest time.

This raw and exciting electric blues still shows exactly why PG & E were one of the most highly rated - and still among the best remembered - groups of their era.

I bought this album on Vinyl when it first came out back in New Jersey and it's great to see it on CD in a deluxe edition with the Bonus tracks.Back then there was SO much good music coming out it was easy for a band to get overlooked.But from the first bars of "Wade in the Water" you KNEW it was something special!It was one of the albums that sent people looking for the original versions of the tunes.It's nice to see the alternate takes and "Wade in the Water" without the overdubs( ala the latest Edition of the Classic "Super Session" Album)The band's arrangements of the tunes were inventive and got your feet a Tappin' and your hands a Clappin'.It's worth your while to check out All PG&E's work.You won't be dissapointed.

I've waited years for this to come out on CD. This was always one of my favorite LP's and I thought it would never be re-released. Cry Cry Cry and Jelly Jelly are two of my favorite versions of these blues classics.
Great guitar and vocals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guitar Glenn!, June 22, 2008

By 

Carl B. (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Get It On (Audio CD)

Schwartz's tone on "Dirty Mistreater" is simply stellar! Glenn still plays weekly in Cleveland and is truly one of the best living guitar players. He can go toe to toe with anyone. He really is a legit guitar God, but without the widespread fame. Check this release out though. The quality is good and there are some great blues guitar licks throughout!
