4.0 out of 5 stars Dawn of the Seventies sampler, August 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Rock Classics (Audio CD)

This is a good review of artists on Columbia Records' roster in the late 1960s-early 1970s. Although my LP's cover promised "Time Has Come Today" by the Chambers Brothers also, this CD tracks exactly like the vinyl original. The Byrds offer "Turn, Turn, Turn," one of their very best, while strong selections from Blood, Sweat and Tears and Edgar Winter offer a taste of the Top 40. Richie Furay's "A Good Feelin' To Know" represents the best incarnation of Poco, likewise with Mott the Hoople's "All the Young Dudes." Spirit, Electric Flag and the Buddy Miles/Carlos Santana collaboration offer some psychedelic blues. Finally, you have some Seventies radio fodder in Argent's "Hold Your Head Up" and "Rock On" by David Essex (really, guys, what's this doing here?). In all, a nice mix of the classic and the forgotten.

This version of Mississippi Queen is not the 2:33 studio cut but a 4:13 live version. The long solo is good but a bit sloppy and West improvises some of the lyrics (or was just too drunk to remember them); nevertheless, worth hearing. The selections are a hodgepodge, so the music doesn't flow from track to track. The recording is not remastered but the sound is acceptable and for $6.98 a bargain if you need these songs in your collection.

Recording length: about 45 minutes
