1971 first pressing *VINYL* Plus huge group poster!!!
CACTUS
One Way Or Another
...USA - Atco - SD 33 356
Original 1971 first pressing vinyl in thick gatefold and includes the very rare huge group poster that was only available in initial first releases...
One Way... Or Another (1971) was the second of three studio outings to feature the incipient incarnation of supergroup Cactus, comprised of Vanilla Fudge rhythm section Carmine Appice (drums) and Tim Bogert (bass), as well as former Amboy Dukes lead vocalist Rusty Day (vocals/mouth harp), and Jim McCarty (guitar) from Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels and the Buddy Miles Express. Even as their debut was ostensibly rawer, they retained the same amp'ed-up electrocution-blues and extended upon the assault. The more polished outcome heard on their 2nd effort is undoubtedly the direct result of assistance from recording engineer extraordinaire Eddie Kramer and their upgraded digs at the recently completed Electric Lady Studios, which they inhabited shortly after the passing of the facilities' owner, Jimi Hendrix. Immediately, the proceedings are thrust into high gear with a languorous and seething interpretation of "Long Tall Sally." and to be sure, it gets things off to a rousing start. The springing up-tempo "Rockout, Whatever You Feel Like" has a very hip cool feel and can only be sung by a very few, Rusty day being on. "Rock 'N' Roll Children" is a heavier number with McCarty unleashing rounds of impressive and impellent fretwork churning atop the simmering backbeat. Cactus do what they do best, returning to their boogie rock roots on the suitably named "Big Mama Boogie -- Parts 1 & 2." McCarty's pumping acoustic opening is perfectly augmented by some organic mouth harp courtesy of Rusty Day before launching into an explosive assault of pure, unadulterated proto- heaviness, McCarty's guitar fire-power oversault. Then "Feel So Bad" is given a sizable shakedown, with it's grinding advancing formula. While "Song for Aries" clocks in at just under three minutes, and is a showcase for McCarty's immorally underrated lead guitar. The long-player concludes with two full-blown centerpieces, revealing Cactus' strength as a formidable powerhouse combo on the autobiographically-inspired rave-up "Hometown Bust." Fittingly, this lineup and album come to an end on a high note with the title track "One Way...Or Another." The number is quite possibly the finest original to have been worked up by the band. The cut blazes from tip-to-tail and if the primary riff seems familiar, that may be because it was lifted almost verbatim from Jeff Beck's Beck-Ola-era tune "Rice Pudding." However in Cactus' care, it stomps with way more crunch and no-nonsense attitude.
