Review by analogue December 28, 2010 (4 of 4 found this review helpful)
Performance:  Sonics:
Great album from the late 60's.
A mixed bag of sonic quality. Some tracks sound great while others are a tad flatlined and non-eventful.
White room sounds excellent but Ginger Baker's drum solo on toad is simply unbelievable. Just gorgeous sounding and lifelike. And long which really impresses. tHE DRUNMS SOUND LIKE REAL DRUMS.
I wonder why the whole album was not of a more consistent quality?

It is no ones fault if the recording of this album was not more impressive but there are some tracks that are killers to be found and as such I CAN RECOMMEND IT.

Performance:  Sonics:
Only one desire: to have the other albums in the same format. Writing is not for every audio system, but a good system all falls into place.

Performance:  Sonics:
This SACd is far an away the best sounding version I have heard. Ginger Bakers drums will simply blow you away and both Bruce and Clapton sound delightful as well.

This is by no means a great album, nor is it refernce quality sound - but with this SACD version I'm confident that those familiar with the record will not be disappointed in any way.

Highly recommend for fans of the album and anyone interested in hearing three of the best musicians in rock history do their thing.
