"You can hear the beginnings of later Stones in What a Shame. Heart of Stone is a favorite. Down The Road Apiece shows how amazing Keith was even early on. Some of the best guitar playing I've heard that early... almost beats out Chuck Berry." Reply

"Released originally in 1965, this album featured eleven tracks by the smooth singing Brazilian; the Verve Record Label supplemented the original album with 14 more Astrud Gilberto sung tunes in 1990 and released the new offering in the Verve The Silver Collection, maintaining the original album n..."

"The track listing for this is completely up the spout. The original UK issue maintains a much more bluesy feel, omitting amongst others ...Watchtower, Remember and Crosstown Traffic and adding Highway Chile, ...Midnight Lamp and a couple of B-sides.

"Their 'first' self titled album is actually their UK debut record. There is a real energy here and Steve Marriot is on superb vocal form. Some great tracks here, all served up with Gusto and passion, oh, and anyone who thinks that Led Zeppelin's, whole lotta love, is an original piece of work rea..." [+] Reply
"A great introspective album from Mr. Sinatra. Great production and material this record presents a maturing Sinatra, well done." Reply
