Jeff Beck - Blow By Blow - Analogue Productions SACD
Now on Hybrid Multichannel SACD! Stereo mix remastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound from the original analog tape "Beck's second proper solo came out in 1975, a surprise for fans in that it consisted solely of instrumentals. But what instrumentals! It set a pattern that's evident right up to the present, with sleek, shimmering and iconoclastic guitar playing, blues-y and jazzy interludes, complex rhythm patterns and the feeling that Beck is happy to be just a musician in a band. Max Middleton joined him on keyboards, as with his earlier albums, while Stevie Wonder guests anonymously, and George Martin produced it, his deft touch ensuring a milestone in Beck's career.
