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.

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!

I looked over a few battered copies of this recording on lp, and chose to wait for it on cd, after so many years, it finally is available! Since I truly enjoy this group, specifically "Guitar Glen" I must say I have held very high hopes for this, and it is even better than my expectations. I've listened through it once, can't comment on sound quality yet, but the music itself is very enjoyable, plenty of exquisite guitar work, and of course, the singing is top notch. Extra tracks have been used to fill up the cd, and I enjoyed each, even the alternate takes. Get this cd, no hesitation, it is timeless, you won't think it is "from 1968", it is simply very enjoyable quality music.

get it on is an absolute masterpiece of what was then the neo-blues -alot of bands in the 60s started as blues bands-playing old blues standards with massive volume enthusiasm and attitude. I along with a whole generation were blown away by Beck Clapton and Page and Hendrix plus all the san francisco bands -bare with me -PG&E was one of the lesser known bands -but they could hang with the best of them.Most of my fondest memories of them was them tearing the roof off the Golden Bear in huntington beach.Guitarist Glen Schwartz s attack was so intense he was constantly busting strings in the middle of solos,but not missing a beat-my vinyl of this album has been lost for decades-one of the best re-releases ever-give it a listen-you wont regret it-thanks for listening to an old geezer who still loves blazin rock

I always enjoyed the Are You Ready LP and spent a few years with it on my list before I finally came across it somewhere on CD. I thought this band had just been forgotten by the world and it was a shamw.

I must have ordered this one the first week it came out. I could see all the blues covers, so I figured and hoped it would have a lot of Glenn Schwartz. I was a little worried about how the sound quality would be. Have no fear, this sounds great, nice and clean, lots of highs and lows in the mix. There is a ton of Glenn to enjoy. Right now I'm liking it more than Are You Ready, but I just got it today. Are You Ready has some nicely produced variations on the blues format, where this is more straight ahead, liver sounding, with lots of great covers. There is no slippage in the bonus material either. It is mostly alternate takes with different solos and a couple songs not on the original album This album is totally worth it. Thanks to everyone involved.

After years of being in the vault, not only has this rock-blues classic finally been released, but a generous number of bonus tracks have as well. The sound quality and packaging is great. Excellent liner notes reveal a nice albeit brief history of the band. It's a real shame they didn't stick to their rock-blues roots...they just may have gotten a lot farther than they did. Guitar Glen Schwartz was definitely an underrated guitarist. Just listen to Long Handled Shovel!

First rate sixties blues rock. I could live without the outtakes and second rate add-on cuts, but the cuts from the original album, about half the time on the CD, remain excellent. Great guitar, arrangements and songs.

The first multi-racial rock-band (named after the local company)to emerge from LA club scene circa 1967. That's their debut album. The music is exceptional and amazing, and doesn't need to talk too much - it's self-convincing. A must for everyone who knows the quality - although less known, this band is much better than their peers. Other albums are highly recommended tooAre You Ready/Pacific Gas & Electric - it's more wiser to complete your collection of vintage music than to throw money away on contemporary nobodies.
