"from the day i first heard rory open for deep purple on the boston common in the early seventies,i knew there was no one like him;incredible musician,master showman,and an extremely intelligent and articulate man who had an amazing knowledge of many types of music,not just the blues-as far as the reissue of this wonderful musician's catalogue is concerned,i would rate it right up there with that of the who as an absolute botch-lousy remixes,missing songs,original running order of songs changed,you name it-this mania for remixing/remastering the life out of wonderful music like this is beyond comprehension-if you want to hear rory's music on cd the way it was MEANT to be heard,seek out the now deleted issues on the capo/intercord label from germany;the original lp mixes in superb fidelity.....long live rory!"
