Give Jeff Beck's 'TRUTH' another listen

This was Rod Stewart's first full studio album and IMO he never sounded better. Jeff's guitar work is amazing.

It came out 6 months before Led Zepp's first album.

 

Imagine my surprise when I put my CD on for the first time in years, and discovered I had the 2005 remastered version, with 8 additional songs.

The quality is astounding compared to my 'OLA' release. And the extra songs aren't bad either.

 

If nothing else, listen to 'I ain't Superstitious'. May be the best (over)use of the Wa Wa pedal of all time.  Love it!

I was also lucky to see Rod Stewart and the Faces at the Cow Palace in San Francisco in March ’75. That was a good rollicking show! Ron Wood on lead guitar!

Truth is definitely one of the all time best rock albums and Jeff maybe the best player from the area.

I would place The Faces Long Player among one of Rods best, guys just having fun and enjoying the music they are making.

1111art-I too,have that CD.

El Becko's decision not to focus on singing was a wise decision.

I've had copies of this album for years. It was only when I got a uk first press- on the blue/black Columbia/EMI label, that I could actually hear instruments and stage depth in a way that sounded real.

I know some people have lauded the recent MoFi, haven't heard it, and didn't feel the need to buy it. I suspect finding a clean UK first is now costly. 

"I Ain't Superstitious" is the kill shot for me.
