"Arguably Rory Gallagher's best studio effort. His best work was done live, but this is definitely worth a listen. Several of these tracks were performed on his landmark Irish Tour album. This is blues-rock at its finest." Reply

"I've had this album on MP3 and recently purchased the remastered on vinyl. It sounded great on my stereo system and I enjoyed having the information in the cover. I figured Lindsey was the one behind the music but didn't know Stevie was writing lyrics back then. I understand Fleetwood was at the ..." [+] Reply
"Red rose speedway, is one of Paul McCartney's most underrated records. It contains some great tracks, the best being the beautiful, my love, one of McCartney's greatest solo tracks(alright, it's technically Paul McCartney and wings, but you know what I mean), and, little lamb dragonfly, is one of..."

"This is the record that opens with the classic "Águas de Março" _ but it's not the famous duet with Elis Regina. Since Jobim is not a singer, I prefer the instrumental tracks, especially "Tempo do Mar"." Reply

"Possibly overshadowed by the Prog masterpiece with it's iconic cover, In The Land of the Grey and Pink', this album is equally brilliant yet quite different. One of those where you discover more with each listen. Side 2 (vinyl) is epic!" Reply
