I did these two together because they are basically the same disc, and was on a grandiose search of what could be their next great song of this period other than
Hush, which by the way is their best tune, but my results came back nil. What I did discover is a mix of the bad sides of Cream and The Doors all intertwined making two albums of complete over the top 60's garbage.
Both albums feature some cheeseball originals, tasteless Beatles covers, and a couple of horrendous renditions. The main offender is their version of
Hey Joe, which they take full song credit for, and by the way isn't written by Hendrix either, but did he say, "that's mine", I don't think so, although Deep Purple did. In order not to ruin my day with this stream of negativity, I won't go on about the Camelot references, or the annoying keyboard playing, etc ...
Hush is a great hit, and if anyone wants these albums I'll let go of the pair for a couple dollars, at least there's one good song!
