Jeff Beck (was: Slam)
 

Gary,

I've got 'Amused to Death' on vinyl and agree with you about Jeff Becks solo
on WGW Pt3 suberb..its been played a lot. Talking of a system tester, the
first time I played 'Late Home Tonight' I didn't know about the explosion!
Geez.*!!!* Seriously though a great recording & the Q sound really plays
around with your head ;-)
Whilst talking Rodger Waters I've found most of his albums are well recorded
especially 'Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking' & 'Radio K.A.O.S'
Apologies for taking thread away from slam (though maybe that explosion
counts?)
Mike

You could also check out Roger Waters' album 'Amused to Death'. Beck has
some absolutely superb solos, which IMHO are more enjoyable than some of
his
'stunt guitaring'. You could start by listening to the solo on 'What God
Wants Pt3', which never fails to amaze me each time I hear it. BTW the
album
is a fabulous recording, and a real system tester.

My vinyl collection is kinda very short on Jeff Beck records. (I'm
mainly
a
classical/jazz collector) Any must have recommendations for the hunt
would
be good.
I've got 'Guitar Shop' & 'The Best Of Beckology'.

If you like 60's British R&B, get "Truth" and "Beckola".
If you like jazz/rock, get "Blow by Blow", "Wired" and "Live with the
Jan Hammer Group", and perhaps "There and Back".
Three albums I found pretty forgetable were "Rough & Ready", "Beck,
Bogart, Appice" and "Flash". Others will no doubt disagree.
I like quite a lot of "Guitar Shop". The last Jeff Beck album I bought
was "Who Else", which apart from a couple of nice tracks was pretty
awful.

"Must haves"? Tricky. I suspect most would say that Truth and Blow by
Blow are the two absolute classics, but I personally prefer Beckola
and Wired.

Thanks Clive much appreciated.

If you got the Hitchhiking bare bum sleeve as well then that would be a very
very good deal :-)

Slam
 

I am uncertain about the above for two reasons;
1) That you are essentially telling us that 'slam' is an 'artificial effect',
but then only tell us what it does *not* mean,

If it's an artificial effect, does it need to be defined, or indeed can it be
defined?

2) I still have the feeling that various people are using the term for
*different* things

Agreed

the kind of problem that can arise when magazines, etc, use a term without
giving a clear and unambiguous definition.

Agreed. I don't use the term (and many others) for that reason. I do use words
like 'timbre' which are easier to check between the original acoustic source
and the reproduction of it. I'd welcome the day when reviewers attempt to
define useful terms rather than trying to invent undefinable terms.

Is this the one - http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/keith_g/show/waters.jpg ??
(The inner sleeve is just plain black...)

Actually my son got these, they're only with me for cleaning. He paid £4
each and got the Miles Davis (not pictured) for free - I get to keep the
freebie!!! (Bloody figures, dunnit!) Note the Radio KAOS was originally
priced at £10 - condition is mint all round!

Enough already! - We're in the wrong ng for this!
