Way back then, having sought out the (very difficult to find in the UK) originals and tried to reconcile them what was going on in electric blues at the time I was told I should listen to George Thoroughgood - equally difficult to find! This album was everything that I wanted it to be, high energy, raw and considering how long it took to record, amazing quality. No matter that it had only two George Thoroughgood written tracks, it transformed some of the other tunes into something I could relate to. Thus Bo Diddleys "Ride on Josephine" and  Earl Hookers "You got to lose" were headed in a direction that I could understand. 24 years later I still get the buzz that I had then when I put it. Surely that's the test of a great album? All that I need now is for someone to re-release "Rockin all Night" by Little Jimmy and Brothers of the Night the next album that the friend who introduced me to George Thoroughgood suggested that I try. It'd be great to listen to that and enjoy it all over again. Meantime,this one passes the test of time!
