 bargain classic April 28, 2010

This is a "grab it while it's going" bargain. 5 great albums from a great band. If you like the blues then you'll like this. The only British equivalent I can think of for Butterfield is John Mayall, with whom he recorded a couple of EPs now available on the "Hard Road" rerelease as bonus tracks; this is grittier, Chicago blues with some great tracks featuring Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop. Terrific.

Aping the success of Sony's similarly packaged 5CD box sets, WEA is releasing over FORTY x 5CD "Original Album Series" mini box sets of their own. Issued in the UK and Europe, the artists featured stretch from rhythm 'n' blues icons of the 1950s (Ray Charles and Clyde McPhatter with The Drifters) all the way through to Metal And Indie bands of the 2000s (Dokken and Echo & The Bunnymen). For those interested, I've compiled a full listing of titles in the series in the 'comment' section attached to this review (some are superb, some are not).
Here's the fine-detail for THE PAUL BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND set - released Monday 1 March 2010 in the UK on Elektra/Rhino 8122 79834 0, "Original Album Series" 5CD box set breaks down as follows (all are Stereo mixes):
Disc 1 is "The Paul Butterfield Blues Band" their 11-track debut album released December 1965 on Elektra EKS 7294 in the USA (38:09 minutes)
Disc 2 is "East-West" their 9-track 2nd album released October 1966 on Elektra EKS 7315 in the USA (44:57 minutes)
Disc 3 is "The Resurrection Of Pigboy Crabshaw" their 9-track 3rd album released January 1968 on Elektra EKS 74015 in the USA (45:45 minutes)
Disc 4 is "In My Own Dream" their 7-track 4th album released August 1968 on Elektra EKS 74025 in the USA (34:30 minutes)
Disc 5 is "Keep On Moving" their 12-track 5th album released October 1969 on Elektra EKS 74053 in the USA (42:11 minutes)
ARTWORK/PACKAGING:
The five single card sleeves reflect the 'original' front and rear US LP artwork (the gatefolds are unfortunately not reproduced). Also each front sleeve is now 'bordered' with a colour and the label on the CD then reflects that colour code - Green for Disc 1, Light Blue for 2, Orange for 3, Dark Blue for 4 and Brown for 5. It would have been more appropriate to have the original label colour configurations - maybe even the Elektra inner bags (like they did on the Doors albums in the Complete Studio Recordings box set), but alas... The track list is to the left on the CD label with band members and recording credits listed on the right (as there's no booklet nor site to download details from - as there is on the Sony issues - this is some compensation to the lack of readable details).
It has to be said that the outer card box is lightweight and therefore disappointingly flimsy (unlike the glossy hard-card Sony issues). Having said that, the card sleeves still look cool once out of the box and it's nice to see the original artwork used - which in these cases - are very sweet to look at (it really makes such a big difference on the Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Drifters and Clyde McPhatter rear sleeves too - beautiful original album artwork). As you can see from the timings, there are no bonus tracks.
SOUND:
Some CD sites selling these sets seemed to have automatically 'presumed' that each is "digitally remastered", but it categorically does NOT state that on the outer box or any of the card sleeves or discs - and rather too conveniently - neither website for Rhino USA or UK has any info on the series at all. But as these albums have been remastered before, it's obvious from the great sound that's what you're getting here - the music is bluesy and ballsy - really full and warm (unlike the Little Feat, Bread, Los Lobos, Chris Rea and Rickie Lee Jones sets which are just 80's discs repackaged - see my Little Feat box set review with regard to this). Also - the first two albums feature Mike Bloomfield on lead and slide guitar with Elvin Bishop contributing guitar on all bar the last one [Buzzy Feiten stepped in his place].
If you want a slice of Sixties Blues-Rock, then you can't go much wrong with these albums (although for me the quality really tapers off on Disc 5). Fans who already own these treasured LPs on previous CD incarnations may balk at acquiring this box set just to have those dinky little card sleeves, but once you see them, you may not be able to resist! Others however should just dive in and enjoy...
I just wish some of the other boxes were as good (presentation and soundwise) as this...
Electric blues pioneers August 22, 2010
Efthimios Mitsiadis (Zurich, CH)
This is a collection of the five first albums of the Paul Butterfield' group.
The first two albums are classic and influenced rock music. The first album gives an electric atmosphere to blues, and was one of the influences to Bob Dylan's music to became electric. They are bringing also a clear message to white musicians covering blues songs, do it yourself, play your blues music. The second album is another classic going deep to psychedelia and having real treasures as songs. After these two albums the style has changed and the quality never equalized this of their previous work.
This collection is not re-mastered.
