"One of the most creative (but widely unknown) figures of the late 1960s was Tom Rapp, who in 1968 was the leading figure behind the masterpiece 'Balaklava' - a concept album inspired by the anti-militarist struggle of the same name. The running theme of the album is of apocalyptic death and desol..." [+] Reply
"Stirring and moving late career rebirth for Americas greatest band. Touch Of Grey is fantastic Throwing Stones is powerful with a message still relevant today, and West La Fadeaway and it seedy tales of The Chateau (Marmont) is fantastic as well. Truly well performed collection of high quality so..." [+] Reply
"What an absolute joy it was to finally here this album which could well be the most underrated historically significant rock album of the 70’s. Simply look at the roll call of guests who contributed a veritable who’s who of rock stardom in the early 70’s - George Harrison - John Lennon - Paul McC..." [+] Reply

"I've listened to this album more than any other since its release in 2013. It's a criminally underrated record, though I understand that not all listeners will identify with it as much as I do. It's the only record I've ever heard that attempts to capture--and does so brilliantly--what it was lik..." [+] Reply

"If you play funny and goofy music and sing badly you will get usually praise, but not from me. Why this album, is in the 1001 Book, beats me." Reply

"This live album has actually stood the test of time it is not that bad as far as live albums go. Captured live in the U.S.A. there are some different takes on some well known songs Suffragette City and the Jean Genie stand out along with a live version of Knock On Wood." Reply

"Absolutely insane album. The lyrics are dark, cryptic, and over the top in the best way possible. The vocal performances are powerful and the songs display a heavy ferocity. The production blends all of the sounds together in a way that makes the listener feel as though they are trapped in a stor..." [+] Reply
"This album is one of the outstanding masterpieces of the late sixties and Eric Burdon one of the era's creative figures as well as one of its greatest vocalists. Blues, raga and jazz elements combine to create a work that is refined musically as it is dark politically and socially." Reply
"Well, it's something for me anyway. Not his most well known songs, but still extremely good." Reply
