"First heard in 1973, this has some of Jimi's best live performances ever. - Red House, awesome and is the best version of this classic blues. - Voodoo Child - Little Wing - Lover Man" Reply

"Album of the year for 1955" Reply
"Swing out Sister's music is happy and uplifting imo. There are some great tracks here, Breakout, Surrender and Fooled by a Smile are particular favourites. Most tracks are underpinned by really simple yet effective electric bass lines. As fresh today as when it was released in the eighties." Reply
