The Paul Butterfield Blues Band LP 5095/The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, LP 5096/East/West
“Leave it to Sundazed to issue two of the seminal ‘60s albums on vinyl. With the resurrection of The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and East/West, it’s time for this outfit to recoup some of its revolutionary reputation with Ugly Things readers ... The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and East/West are issued as they originally appeared. Sundazed must be given kudos for letting the actual albums speak for themselves. Bonus tracks would upset the integrity of both discs ... The LPs are perfect as they are ... If you have not heard either of these LPs, please do so. Otherwise, your knowledge of ‘60s music is nowhere near as thorough as you may have thought.” - Ugly Things

Paul Butterfield Blues Band - East-West (LP 5096 )


“...the song ’East-West’ was ‘a real fusion of jazz and blues inspired by the Indian raga. This ground-breaking instrumental was the first of its kind and marks roots from which the acid-rock tradition emerged.’ The album is a tour-de-force—poetic, high-energy, brilliantly played, and full of memorable melodies.”
