Editorial Reviews

For some, Johnny Winter's debut album for Columbia remains his high-water mark for its seamless meld of blues and hard rock. For most of the rest, it was his later group, with Rick Derringer and Murray Krugman stepping into the producer's chairs (as well as Derringer being a member of the band), which provided the defining moments in '70s blues-rock. BGO assembles the first studio album and Live Johnny Winter into a smoking double-disc package that offers the real differences between what this band attempted to do in the studio -- it sounds undeniably dated with all of the phase shifters and primitive guitar pedal and keyboard work -- and the incendiary stage attack this band was capable of. The basic deal is this: BGO takes great care in their remastering efforts and in presentation with fine liner note essays, and it separates the albums onto two discs. The first disc has the original version of "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo," that Derringer scored with some years later, and the latter is all killer, no filler. Check "Mean Town Blues," for proof. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide

Both of these CDs are fantastic and I've been listening to them since they were originally released on vinyl back in the day... Just to let anyone who's interested in the best possible sound quality know, these are the best I've heard. MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL CD RELEASES!! Dare I say even better than the original vinyl? I'm a certifiable vinyl junkie and I believe these are superior in sound quality, with more clarity and overall punch than the original releases. Especially the Johnny Winter And LIVE cd. I thought I'd pass that along, I was as suprised as anybody! BUY THIS VERSION, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Alternative to Straight Blues, December 16, 2007

This album is an interesting addition for Winter fans because instead of his typical blues trip, the rock/pop material and the colaboration with Derringer add other dimensions, while the live cuts supply any blues you might have been missing.
