...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI


..::OPIS::..

Zremasterowana, szwedzka edycja kultowego, wydanego w styczniu 1973 roku albumu, na którym muzycy wczesnego składu Thin Lizzy (Phil Lynott, Eric Bell i Brian Downey) z pomocą dwóch innych Irlandczyków (wokalisty i klawiszowca), wykonują klasyczne numery Deep Purple oraz kilka przeróbek. To jest bardzo dobry, solidny album - w epoce wydany dla szybkich pieniędzy nakładem niewielkich wytwórni, a dziś bez wątpienia należący do szerokiego kanonu rocka.

Warto zwrócić uwagę na świetne wersje 'Fireball' i 'Hush', a przede wszystkim na doskonały 'Speed King'! To jest absolutny mus dla fanów Lizzy i starego hard rocka! W środku zamieszczono m.in. reprodukcję okładki niemieckiej edycji wydanej pod nazwą The Rock Machine)!



I think there is a very salient point being missed by some reviewers.This was not intended for release as an album by a new group on a major label.It was aimed at the market which bought Pickwick records Top Of The Pops compilations and MFP's Hot Hits comps.That market was British schoolkids who didn't have the cash to go out and buy all the albums and singles by all their favourite artists,so this type of LP was hugely popular Of course it's cover versions done as closely as possible to the original-that's the point.These weren't bought by fans wanting to hear a ten minute improvised guitar/keyboard duel around the basis of Fireball.They wanted something that sounds as close to Fireball as possible for 50 pence from the local Woolworth's as opposed to shelling out £2.50 for Deep purple's album.If you only have £2.50 pocket money you have a dilemma.I remember spending hours in my local record store with the heavy choice to make -does it go on Yes's Close To The Edge,The Ash's Argus,the latest Purple,Heep,Cat Stevens,Tull,Camel,Ad Infinitum.
You couldn't have 'em all-just one.That's why these LPs flourished in the early 70s in the Uk.

Luminaries such as Elton John,David Byron of Heep and others loaned there talents to TOTP and Hot Hits LPs.Some tracks turned out passably good. many were laughably bad.In the case of Downey and Bell on Funky Junction's Lp the band does a decent job(There is doubt as to whether Lynott actually appears on the recordings.Some say yeah others nay.
