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-forcepoetic,
high-energy, brilliantly played, and full of memorable melodies.
