Packaged as a double album, actually a re-release of Jeff's first 2 albums, which were released in 68-69. After his
sixth album, Blow By Blow became a #4 hit, I guess Epic decided to capitalize. Both of the albums here charted at
#15 on their original release. I guess they sold a few more by packaging them. The group also includes Rod Stewart,
Ronnie Wood and Nicky Hopkins. Stewart in fine voice at this early atage of his career. A lot of covers here with no
originals till the second album. Interesting take on the Yardbirds Shapes Of Things to start off. Prefer the
original, but not bad. Elvis covers are horrendous, as well as Ol' Man River and Greensleeves. You Shook Me, doesn't
even come close to Zep's. And of course the closer instrumental Rice Pudding takes the worst. Not much on either of
these albums for me. Beck reached legendary status at some point. Yes I know he's an excellent guitarist, but his
albums never did much for me. If it wasn't for Rod Stewarts presence, I could totally pass on this set. Guess I
wasn't in a blues/rock mood today.
