Yeah his short solos are are a thing of beauty. I have a totally instrumental guitar album of his somewhere I must dig out. Nothing but guitar :)

I like him but his music can be a bit sterile at times. Prefer the rawness/soul of Freddie or Albert.
Don't think he could sing and play at the same time either-saw him live twice mind and he was still great[/quote]

That's interesting as I felt exactly the same! That's what I meant by the epiphanic feeling I got when I finally understood where he was coming from! Freddie and Albert were always my number one's and always will be.

Kinda explains why I like BB so much....

I remember that! I also got the The Sound of Sun compilation - 'Grab This While You Can'
Brilliant compilations both....

Here's two more I picked up back in the day. Never did get around to buying Vol. 2 :)

Picture disc on HQ 180gm virgin vinyl... €15 in Head Liffey Valley. Sounds nice and rough!
