GINGER BAKER/AT HIS BEST PD-3504 (-72) US


  Compilation that sold nicely back then, but today can be found in the cheaper bins. In my world well worth the dough if you can pick a top copy for a buck or two. Three of the cuts are from the Blind Faith one-off album https://monolover.blogspot.com/2012/06/blind-faith-583-059-69.html  , the remaining six from his two Air Force ones. Hard to avoid a couple of rather long drum solos from the man, but even if you're not into such there are quite a few good moments to enjoy. And of course an amazing list of partakers. The Blind Faith gang including Eric Clapton and Stevie Winwood, plus Graham Bond doing organ and lead vocals on one cut. There's also Jeanette Jacobs, from the odd and enchanting US girl group Cake https://monolover.blogspot.com/2022/03/the-cakea-slice-of-cake-mup-390-69-uk.html , singing on a couple. The audio on this US is top notch. Lots of good music to be enjoyed and highly recommended to fans that for some reason can't get the original albums or more modern music lovers who wanna know what was happening back then. Favorite tracks - the Graham Bond "Let Me Ride" plus the two Blind Faith "Had To Cry Today" and "Well All Right".  1972 releases on Polydor in US and Canada only, also US 8-track. 1973 issues on RSO in Japan, Downunder and a couple of European countries. To my knowledge never like this on CD. Premiere US had label as shown here in a top fold cover.  (CÄRÄ*)  (YZÄ*)
