The Jeff Beck Group - Rough and Ready - Hybrid SACD
5.1 Multi Channel + 2 Channel Stereo
Japanese original release.
SACD hybrid multi-ch edition of "Rough And Ready." The disc is divided into two layers as follows: SACD (5.1ch) and CD. The CD layer uses audio source translated from SACD (2ch). Features the latest remastering. 7-inch cardboard sleeve packaging. Includes a poster and more.
Recouping after a car crash and faced with the loss of Rod Stewart and Ron Wood, Jeff Beck redefined what the Jeff Beck Group was about, deciding to tone down the bluesy bombast, adding keyboardist Max Middleton for a jazz edge, then having Bob Tench sing to give it an overblown early-'70s AOR edge. As expected, these two sides are in conflict and Tench can be a little overbearing, but there are moments here that bring out the best in Beck.
Namely, these are the times when the group ventures into extended, funk-inflected, reflective jazzy instrumental sections. These are the moments that point the way toward the success of Blow by Blow, yet this remains an unabashed rock record of its time, and it falls prey to many of its era's excesses. Still, there are moments that are as fine as anything Beck played here.
