This was a find of mine that happened mysteriously, as I didn't know it had been released. I came across it in a closeout bin at the music store several years after it had been released. I had his previous albums, but I hadn't been following him, so this one slipped by. I snatched it up, and then scoured the internet for the singles (pre-Discogs, I think I was shopping on GEMM a lot.) I didn't have everything until about 2009.
Not much more to say than that Broudie is simply brilliant, and everything he plays with turns into a classic. It's unfortunate that he's only recognized among a small group of aficionados, such as ourselves, and not more mainstream....
This is just the album and the b-sides, fitting in at about an hour and seventeen minutes, filling the disc perfectly. The mixes aren't bad, and I might pull those out later. But, as an album, this stands well as it is. I even like his version of Be My Baby....
Definitely checking this one out! I only have "Cloudcuckooland" and "Sense" in hard copy (though I did DL "Jollification" from your blog!), and since you recommend this so highly and I love the ones I have, I'm sure I'll like it!
