 Great Blues Sep 28, 2009
While Mike Bloomfield can get a little tedious at times, it is worth getting this album just to hear Bloomfield intro and Taj Mahal sing One More Mile. And Marianne--not on the original lp--is indeed a bonus track.
A Lost Guitar Master Sep 22, 2009
A combination of 2 previously out of print blues discs.
Although as original releases, neither disc was classified as a classic blues album, the combining onto 1 disc has greatly elevated the status of the original ratings.
Not previously in the category of must have albums, it is now an essential disc for both Bloomfield and Gravenites fans or music fans wanting to experience some of the West Coast music scene of the late '60s.

 Been waiting 30 years for this reissue Jul 03, 2009
I bought the original vinyl in 1970, and it has been the basis - along with "Super Session" and the "Live Adventures" albums - of my appreciation of what Michael Bloomfield means in the pantheon of blues guitar. Bloomfield, along with Albert King and Clapton formed the most significant set of influences for my own guitar playing. This album is perhaps the most concentrated collection of superb performances - although the "Live Adventures" album packs a lot of "sweet and salty" too.
It is wonderful to finally have this record reissued. If you're looking for inspired blues, and arguably, one of the finest blues guitarists playing at his "best" - you owe yourself this CD.
Legendary blues performance Jun 26, 2009
I need say no more than buy this CD, if only for Bloomfield's solo on "Blues on the Westside" (improperly titled Blues on "a" Westside). It is one of the most legendary solos of the era.

recycled Jun 21, 2009
The expanded reissue of "My Labors" on Acadia includes much of this material. It also has one 13 minute live cut not included here, as well as three inferior studio cuts. This compilation has five cuts not on the Acadia release. I'm just going by track lists, so it's possible that some of the duplicates might be alternate takes. While this album is described as being from one "legendary concert," the Acadia notes reference several live sessions at the Filmore from January and February 1969. However all of the Acadia material was taken from the two original releases, and I would assume that the * next to the last title on this one indicates the only previously unreleased track.
