I bought this record up in Marquette, MI at a St. Vinnie's for $.50. The sleeve is in poor shape, and so is the record. A lot of people may talk about how vinyl has a better sound than cd's or mp3's, and while I agree with that, there are many variables that factor into sound quality. I don't have a very high quality turntable, and I have two pretty small roland speakers. Add in the poor condition of the record... it doesn't sound that good. But I just want to hear music. Preferably good music. This is why if I find a good record, I'll get it; if I find a good CD, I'll get it. That is part of the reason why I have two Larry Coryell records, but only one Coltrane record (I have many Coltrane CDs)
I could imagine a few electric guitarists out of Washington state in the late 60's were influenced by Jimi Hendrix. This album definitely sounds like it is a guy really into Hendrix. A lot of guitar overdubs (Coryell plays guitars, basses, and sings). A couple tracks include Elvin Jones on drums, and one also includes Jimmy Garrison on bass. The song "Stiff Neck" really sounds like they are trying very much like Jazzi Hendrix.
