Keith Emerson, is to me the great organist/keyboard to ever live! He reviewed one of my musician friend's song "Down in Tennessee". (On Aug 31st 1968 in Melody Maker) Emerson said he didn't like it. My friend saw ELP play in 1973 and he said he didn't... See full review

Just got this lp for super cheap! With a navy exchange price tag (guy I got it from was in the service) I have to agree this is the best version I have heard. Also the 2016 is weak compared to this.

Some great musicians on this album, including Boz Scaggs of solo fame and Lonnie Turner who joined Tommy Tutone and did the song 867-5309 / Jenny. Lonnie Turner returned to the band in 1973 but other than that, the other members were all gone by 1970.... See full review

A great sounding album, and a great dedicated Mono Mix. When they were mixing the song "Nobody But Me", Ting wanted the longer version with the first chord. But Capitol wanted the shorter version that started with the feedback. Ting got his version... See full review

I almost bought this record back in about 2016-7. I went to Barnes and Noble and bought my first record. They had a stereo copy and a mono copy. Mono was $1 more than the stereo. So in my young mind I had no idea that mono was the best way to hear... See full review

The reason this sounds like the Ram Jam version is because Bill Bartlett took this old recording and edited it and released it through Ram Jam. so this means Ram Jam does not play on Black Betty. Starstruck recorded Black Betty.
