Editorial Reviews

2008 two CD set contains the earliest known recordings of Paul Kossoff, whose tragic death in 1976 robbed the Rock world of one of its finest-ever Blues guitarists. Taped at rehearsals with Black Cat Bones in London in 1967, the raw, lo-fi tracks find the teenager already a master of his instrument. Accompanied by musicians including Derek and Stuart Brookes (later to form the legendary Leaf Hound), and featuring a guest appearance from Paul Rodgers (later to form Free with Kossoff), the recordings are of considerable historical importance. They are released here for the very first time, along with a booklet featuring rare photographs, full liner notes and an introduction from the bands drummer, Frank Perry, making the album an essential purchase for all serious Rock fans. Sunbeam. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Yeah , the sound stinks...but the performaces are simply awesome!!!!! One can only speculate what recordings would have come out of Koss had he lived , but this extensive look into his first TEENAGER recordings is nothing short of stunning. PLease , please , please overlook the sound quality and listen to the humble beginnings of a sheer genius

This is hard going for the average listener. The sound quality is pretty rough(I'm both a blues and a Kossoff fan but, I had a hard time listening to more than 2 or 3 tracks in one sitting). Several of the tracks are presented in two different versions and most of the tracks are very long jams. The guitar does, however, cut through better than the vocals or other instruments. I gave this set three stars because of its historic importance.

This a good idea for a release if only you can truly hear what is going on. Sounds like it came from a cheap tape recorder. My question is, who profits from this? Is there a beter sounding cd of these cuts? I would love to know. For serious collectors only. Kossoff was a great guitar player but it is hard to really hear him on this cd.
