Synopsis

Album Description
The first album by Californian blues-rock legends, Pacific Gas and Electric, reissued for the first time and enhanced by the addition of almost three quarters of an hour's worth of previously unissued material from the album sessions. Reissued with the approval and complete co-operation of the surviving members of PG & E, this deluxe edition also features many previously unpublished shots of the band performing at late 60s music festivals and a sleeve note that draws on the reminiscences of key PG & E members Brent Block and Frank Cook. The PG & E website has been trumpeting the release of this set for almost a year - which is how long it's been in the making - and demand for recent CD reissues of their subsequent Columbia albums indicates that there'll be strong sales for the hardest to find of all their original albums and the one that's been out of print for the longest time. This raw and exciting electric blues still shows exactly why PG & E were one of the most highly rated - and still among the best remembered - groups of their era.
 

CD Reviews

Its about time!
Nels D. Peterson | Los Angeles | 05/17/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I looked over a few battered copies of this recording on lp, and chose to wait for it on cd, after so many years, it finally is available! Since I truly enjoy this group, specifically "Guitar Glen" I must say I have held very high hopes for this, and it is even better than my expectations. I've listened through it once, can't comment on sound quality yet, but the music itself is very enjoyable, plenty of exquisite guitar work, and of course, the singing is top notch. Extra tracks have been used to fill up the cd, and I enjoyed each, even the alternate takes. Get this cd, no hesitation, it is timeless, you won't think it is "from 1968", it is simply very enjoyable quality music."
Guitar Glenn!

"Schwartz's tone on "Dirty Mistreater" is simply stellar! Glenn still plays weekly in Cleveland and is truly one of the best living guitar players. He can go toe to toe with anyone. He really is a legit guitar God, but without the widespread fame. Check this release out though. The quality is good and there are some great blues guitar licks throughout!"
Been looking for this for 30 years

"get it on is an absolute masterpiece of what was then the neo-blues -alot of bands in the 60s started as blues bands-playing old blues standards with massive volume enthusiasm and attitude. I along with a whole generation were blown away by Beck Clapton and Page and Hendrix plus all the san francisco bands -bare with me -PG&E was one of the lesser known bands -but they could hang with the best of them.Most of my fondest memories of them was them tearing the roof off the Golden Bear in huntington beach.Guitarist Glen Schwartz s attack was so intense he was constantly busting strings in the middle of solos,but not missing a beat-my vinyl of this album has been lost for decades-one of the best re-releases ever-give it a listen-you wont regret it-thanks for listening to an old geezer who still loves blazin rock"
