Customer Reviews:
why they bowed to beck.......2006-04-15
this compilation shows why jeff beck was one of the three guitar heroes in the 1960's along with eric clapton and jimmy page. the great tone, the years ahead of everybody guitar leads that put him on a level few could touch. to bad he is tarnishing his current legacy with odd guitar noises and techno babble leads
The very best of Jeff Beck.......2005-11-22
This is a CD spanning Jeff Beck's entire career. It starts with the Tridents and goes all the way through Jeff Beck's guitar shop.
As you probably know Jeff Beck was with the Yardbirds and later in the Jeff Beck Group along with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood.
He also was with Beck, Bogart and Appice and another formation of the Jeff Beck Group with a different cast.
With Blow By Blow in the early 70's he started his instrumental phase which he continues to this day.
Beck has always been known but never in the forefront.
You get all the classic Yardbirds hits like Heart Full of Soul, I'm a Man, Shapes of Things,Over Under Sideways Down and Happenings Ten Years Ago.
You also get his classics with Rod Stewart including Jailhouse Rock, Plynth (water down the drain) among others.
And his work with BB&A including Superstition, Black Cat Moan.
You also get his instrumental era including Cause We Ended As Lovers,Freeway Jam, Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, Love is Green and the Pump from There and Back.
Also included is his duet with Rod Stewart, People Get Ready, a killer version of Sleep Walk, Big Block and Where Were You.
This is an Anthology that any Jeff Beck fan should not be without.
A MUST BUY 'IF' You don't own every JB cd!.......2004-12-08
This was a great purchase foe even tho I already have every Jeff Beck cd!(Except the newer rematsered "Truth" & "Beck-Ola")
Buying this you'll get a great sampling from almost every period
of Beck's muscial career up until after "Guitar Shop". Jeff Beck has always been a guitar pioneer! He revolutionized the way the electric guitar sounded influenced by his idol Les Paul! Jeff even played Gibson Les Paul guitar's until deciding on going with the Stratocaster. He made his 1st electric guitar or at least altered it & did alter his amp re-wiring it so it would produce strange sound effects like Les Paul!
Beck has always reinvented himself throughout the yrs! From the begining w/the "Tridents" & "Yardbirds"(my fave guitarist of the 3 Yarbird bands)& then thruoughout "Jeff Beck Group #8"! He almost aslways used Marshall amplification(he strayed away a few times but always came back to Marshall's)& this can be heard thruout these recordings. I w have been lucky enough to see almost every incarnation of the differing Jeff Beck Groups 'live' & saw the incredible power trio "BBA" live from 10 feet away! Incredible! Some of that material is available here. I had to order my dbl vinyl "BBA LIVE" from Japan in 1974!
So almost every period of his brilliant career is heard here! While 1 disc is almost entirely made up of "The Tridents" & "The Yardbirds" which some find unecessary, I like it. Sure some of his greatest tunes werew left off but hey you'd have to buy a 30 disc set to get almost everything!! I miss "Spanish Boots" & Ron Wood's incredible bass solo which that song fades out during just as Ron was getting going! A shame. However, you do get unreleased cut's like, Tident songs & others & the cuts only available before if you bought soundtract albums! Plus B sides of 45's most people reading this will have never heard before.!
Jeff is 1 of my fave artists & guitarists & belongs on a Mount Rushmore for Guitarists! He is still innovative & new & I just got a dvd of his 60th Bithday Concert(boot)that is great! It features Jan Hammer & special guests!
If you like Jeff Beck this would be a great purchase for you! EXCELLENT 3 disc boxed set with a great booklet that features a "Timeline" that shows the progression of Jeff's bands & the groups the memebers he used,in his bands came from. The entire ine-up's of both! Superb feature for history buffs of musicology! BUY THIS!
One Of the All Time Greatest Guitarists!.......2004-11-25
I think the thing I love most about Jeff Beck is that even though he doesn't play a million notes a second like most so called "guitar heros", his solos are always intriguing and in great taste. He never did the "finger tapping" thing or the "sweep arpeggio"...he ingnored most trends through the years and did things entirely his way. The mark of a true artist!
Getting back to this three disc set, I agree 100% with the other reviewers with the fact that there is much too much space dedicated to the Yardbirds....they aready have too many "Best Of the Yardbirds" CDs.
It gets a star taken off for omitting my all time favorite Beck jams..."Blue Wind", off of the Wired album. Also, just one track off "There and Back" doesn't cut it. They should have dedicated all three discs to his solo career from Blow by Blow, to the Guitar Shop album.
They did a great job on the remastering, however. "Going Down", sounds like it was recorded yesterday, with none of that nasty shrillness and compression that you hear on so many of those CBS albums from the 60's and 70's.
Make no Mistake--This Is the Original Beck!!!.......2003-09-09
Released in 1991, this box set pretty much covers Jeff Beck's entire recorded career, from the Tridents treatment of the old chestnut, "Trouble In Mind" to highlights from Guitar Shop, which was probably his best solo album. Some fans might complain that there are too many Yardbirds tracks here---well, not this fan! In my mind, you can never have too many Yardbirds tracks, and every last one here is a keeper, from the Eastern sound Jeff got from his guitar on "Over, Under, Sideways, Down," to the pseudo-Gregorian chants of "Still I'm Sad." Also welcome are the numerous Jeff Beck Group tracks, particularly the ones featuring Rod Stewart. Rod the Mod may have had a stellar career, but saved some of his best work for Beck. (Who do you think Rod asked to give his induction speech to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?). I wish there could have been more BBA tracks, particularly live ones, because the two that are offered here are basically both "Blues DeLuxe" medleys. Still, both are excellent. Most of the choices from his solo albums are apt, including one of the best recordings of "Wild Thing" you will hear anywhere. Maybe a few more tracks from Guitar Shop and a few less from Flash would have made the set even better. But, enough quibbling. There's plenty of great material here you will want to listen to over and over while pondering this question: Was Jeff Beck the model for Nigel Tufnel in the Spinal Tap movie??? Enquiring minds want to know!!!
