Fantastic Reissue

"I will never regret buying this CD. The quality is incredible. I don't know how it compares to the domestic versions of the two CD's, but I am thrilled with its clarity, its quality, its packaging. My only regret is not enjoying Paul Butterfield's music in the 60's when I was a teen, a time when I purchased and listened to the trendy things that I believed--and some critics also believed--were the "cutting edge." I don't profess to be some sort of authority on the blues, but I know what I like, and I love this CD."
Hope this lives up to its promise

"The first set in this series (the first two Butterfield albums) were fantastic recordings, cleaned up, high fidelity versions far superior to earlier CD releases of those albums. You could clearly hear all instruments, particularly the keyboards and fine separation of Elvin Bishop's and Mike Bloomfield's guitars. This second two/fer holds much promise. Although lesser known than the first incarnation of the Butterfield band, this group, along with Bloomfield's Electric Flag and Al Kooper's BS&T, were watershed albums in the "horns & blues rock" movement (an event which is not fully appreciated 40 odd years later). If the quality of this recording matches volume 1 in this set, by all means sell your previous copies of the CDs and purchase it. Mine is on order and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a delightful aural experience!"
