Title: Dated but enjoyable
Review: 1. The musicAs other reviews have pointed out, this is not the most sterling example of this genre. Black Betty is definitely the standout and I could hear ZZ Top doing this song. In my opinion, most of the other songs are just average for the genre, except side two of the second LP in which something lit a fire under the band and the tracks are fast and furious. Unfortunately production took a bit of a nosedive on that LP and the drums are badly recorded. Still, a lot of energy and power.2. The releaseThis is a German import from CBS records. The 4 page booklet does give complete publishing and time info on all the songs, and on the inner spread is a brief bio of the band - in German. I can only get a sense of it, but with phrases like "bahnbrechenden Hardrockern" (barn-burning hard rockers?) you can get a sense of it. Finally, for the price (I paid US$10.99) you can almost not pass it by.
