CLEAN 1969 BRITISH ORIGINAL + DUANE ALLMAN
BOZ SCAGGS
...UK - Atlantic Records - K40419
SCARCE 1969 British first pressing in textured gatefold cover...
The very first solo album by ex-Steve Miller Blues Band guitarist Boz Scaggs was issued only in Sweden ("Boz"), it's impossible rare, a hippie folk album of sorts from 1965 before Steve Miller Blues -- this self titled album is actually his first US release a year after he left the Miller Band and BOZ gets help from legendary Duane Allman on slide guitar.
This self titled second album by Boz Scaggs, who had been playing with The Steve Miller Band but relentlessly sought to be on his own, was produced by Jann Wenner, editor of Rolling Stone, back in 1969. All of the right people had all of the right things to say about an album that laid out all of the right stuff, but just never achieved the acclaim the critics had predicted.
“Loan Me A Dime,” was the number that held this release together, it was the heart of the record, being one of those songs that once in your head, manages to stay there for a year or more. “Loan Me A Dime,” clocking in at twelve minutes in length, was made up of such tantalizing riffs that it became of staple of any Boz show ... though he laughingly said, ”In the beginning I didn’t mind everyone throwing those dimes at me, scooping them up after a show often netted me more than I was paid. But then people just began really pelting me with ‘em ... those little dimes hurt, so I stopped playing the song.”
Despite not rising to achieve commercial success, Duane Allman’s amazing guitar work, and the sensational backing from Muscle Shoals’ finest more than hinted at things to come. There was still some folkyness to his style found here thatone tends to over look, but listening to what was developing is pure magic. Ignore the record if you wish, can't fault you there ... but there is no way you can ignore “Loan Me A Dime,” a timeless classic.
The keepers, among others, are: "Look What I Got," "Loan Me A Dime," and "Sweet Release." all five stars
CONDITION:
The cover: fragile delicate textured gatefold is top clean, M- with no bends, no writing and no split seams...very nice collectible...
