So grateful that I support RP on a monthly basis. Never want to see this station go off of the airwaves if I can help it. LLRP

Showed up at the studio in '74 to be considered as Mick Taylor's replacement and ended up on 'Black and Blue' - That's him on 'Hot Stuff' and 'Memory Motel'.

thanks for the info...interesting...if only other comments were as worthwhile rather than just ...a report on personal preference...who cares what you like and don' like?... give it a number and move on.....or not .....LLR

Wow, Bill's on fire this Friday morning, with Willie and Lobo and Harvey Mandel back to back. Makes me want to get right up and walk out of my office into the sunshine. With RP in my ears, of course.

How could anyone not love this??

Maybe like the Grateful Dead in that many people need psychedelics to really "get it". Certainly my experience. Post punking my way through college, one of my mantra was "kill the Dead", a la many a punker. I went to a Dead concert, even, at the famous Frost Amphitheater at Stanford, and was so bored I literally napped on the lawn. Then after college I got solidly dosed, listened to the new year's '89 show live on the radio, and have been on the bus ever since, and increasing over time. So maybe some of that going on here. I gotta say I love the album cover. Reminds me of one of the alien races in "The Fifth Element".... perhaps this cover was an inspiration....

Great tune. Here's a totally different take by jazz great Ramsey Lewis:

1970, nap of the earth in Vietnam, no Christo Redentor rising out of the triple canopy, only green tracers as clear and sharp as the licks on Mandel's guitar. Music got me through it, made me the last of the best. Lonely as the last cartridge. Now.

I hate to be really old and really pedantic but "own" (to possess) is a verb, but it is a transitive verb - it requires an object. "I own a car", "It owns my house", "He threw the ball" are all OK, but "I own", "It owns" and "He threw" are not.

Errr... do you mean it isn't an intransitive verb (outside of compounds like "own up")? Cause... https://www.merriam-webster.co...

Not to be pedantic either, but "owns" is a verb - a transitive verb which requires an object, but still a verb.

Anyone able to figure out why Hot Stuff plays on Harvey's web page?

From AMG:
In the mid-'70s, when the Rolling Stones were looking for a replacement for Mick Taylor, Mandel auditioned for a spot in the group; although he lost to Ron Wood, his guitar does appear on two cuts on the Stones' 1976 album, Black & Blue.

I gave this an 8 as much for the fact that RP played it as for anything else. I actually have this album on vinyl bought from Harmony House, Albert Road in Pompey. Must have been around 1969 / 70 and the shop is long since gone.

So thank you Bill and Rebecca for the nostalgia kick.

Put on a good set of headphones for this - or do the old school trick of laying on the floor with one speaker at each ear! This one delivers the panning stereo goods! I just got a vintage set of Pioneer SE-505 Stereo Headphones and put them on tonight - this song BLEW MY MIND! (to use the proper vintage lingo). Like a trip back in time!

I actually had the vinyl for this back around the time it came out but it didn't survive the many moves, culls, etc. I have to admit that it doesn't sound as good to me as it once did. Many pieces withstand the test of time reasonably well - to me, this does not fall into that category. Having said that, I still find it interesting, and I wonder if some of the other tracks might fare better on that 'test of time' score than this one.
