 Amazing Bloomfield album Nov 09, 2009
An spectacular album! The whole band is top notch, but Mike Bloomfield steals the show (as per the usual). His playing is simply amazing on this album; just as good or even better than on PBBB, East-West, Super Session, or his other popular works.
Nick's singing is very good and the rest of the band really rocks. All the songs are quite good and it's nice to hear Taj on Track 5.
Although I haven't seen it posted anywhere (and I looked, thinking mine was possibly defective) there is a squeal or squeak that you can hear occasionally in some of the songs. I don't know if it is feedback or what exactly, but it does distract me a little when listening. However, it isn't a big deal and the sound quality on the CD is good.

 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.
