Liked it in the 70's and still like it now. Great sound.
Always loved Hot stuff (on the 76 tour they did some great live renditions).
Hand of fate and Memory Motel were album highlites.
Hey Negrita and Melody a bit different but nice.
With Fool to cry they tried to do another Angie which had been a huge hit in Europe.Like with Streets of love the song often worked better live. I remember some grooving versions in 76.
The album benefited from the very good guitar players auditioning.
Only lowpoints to me the subpar reggae and a rather average album closer.
The Stones always had good openers and closing numbers. But Crazy Mama didn't belong to them and it was too overproduced.
In fact with 1 or 2 more good songs - incl. a better closer - it would have been a great album!

Well, as it's one I don't know, I'll get a copy in your honour and let you know - next year!
It's now a cold, cold winter in the UK - so I'll settle for GHS or any winter Reggae record you may compatibly recommend.
Isn't Bob Marley Legends the 'go to' for Reggae.
I'd HIGHLY recommend my favourite reggae album of all time, the soundtrack to the early 70s film, The Harder They Come, featuring Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytals, Desmond Dekker and others.
Fama dem fayaka! Manacle, and den go sacka! ...or something.

Still astounds me to this day that they left Slave and Worried About You unfinished. Just imagine the album with those tracks on it as well.
Had they finished them, of course.
I can't see
"Slave" on same album as "Hey Negrita" - riff too similar. 253413
Other than that I can listen to the whole album just to hear the two instances on "Hey Negrita": one @ 2:53 when Jagger goes "shtickkatikkasuckkadupanow", and @ 4:13 right after a slightly atonal piano run by BillP, when Ollie answers with the cowbell.

That's my favourite too!!!
Anything Cliff Jimmy.
Toots was highlight of Stones Ahoy gig in 2003!

Yup. You sometimes see the fil on TV (to which the album was a soundtrack).
I have the album on Vinyl- I've no idea if it ws ever re-released on other formats - can quickly check on Amazon.
I like that kind of Reggae cos it's still light and upbeat - kinda positive - in contrast to a lot of Marley's 'heavier' tendency and message-based stuff. Kaya album being the notable eception.

I've also got it on vinyl. I'm pretty sure I've seen it sold at Starbucks on CD (a few years ago now). I remember hearing 'Draw Your Brakes' and I nearly dropped my Venti.
In the UK. It might have been the nineties the last time I saw it screened though.
A 1972 original release. There was some TV show not long ago (in last five years) -BBC I think - about the making of the film and its social signifiance at the time.
J Cliff was the most likely rising star to make it big out of Jamaica until the release of No Woman No Cry and the ensuing Marley Mania.
I'll check out youtube for clips of the film.
Regarding the film, never seen it and NEVER even heard of it being played on TV. What part of the world are you located in Deluxtone?

Pete's first true solo album was 1980's Empty Glass. Rough Mix is a collaboration that also has Ronnie Lane's name on it, and on Who Came First there were guest artists (four in all) singing and performing on three of the nine tracks.
Some would argue though that his first solo album was Who By Numbers.

I love Empty Glass...one of my favourite Who albums, in the way Wandering Spirit is one of my favourite Stones albums.

That's exactly how I felt/feel about the album.
Hot Stuff isthe highlight of Love You Live - really cooking.
And Fool To Cry, as i remember too, was a very poignant moving moment in their '76 live shows. Keith Wah-wahing is tranced heart out.
Yeah, the pace of Crazy Mama was too pedestrian. Love Keith's return to lead motif in that - and Ronnie's jiterry fretboard magic at fade out and in middle - but overlall a rather plodding closer.
But what an album opener!
And is it three guitar slos on Hand of Fate - all fresh. I used to be sure that one at least was Keith (so Keithesque) - but all Wayne i believe. He really would have been a good choice.
Pity the Faces split up, eh?!

Save Me or Plundered my Soul may have made their way to TY, never know. I think Hey Negrita bumped Slave and Worried Bout You got bumped by the two existing ballads. Black & Blue might make for an interesting deluxe package?
Oh yes, especially if it had high quality sound versions of the 11 minute Hey Negrita and the long Slave.....

Is the Jeff Beck material from these sessions deluxe worthy?

I think Black and Blue is a really great LP from the seventies. Not a bad song and great guitarplayers. What do you think?

OK, but none of those records came out in '76....
Whether or not Who Came First was or was not a Pete solo album is subject to friendly debate. Empty Glass was called his first solo record when it came out, but I viewed that as Atco promoting it as such.
Prior to that, I think most viewed Who Came First as a Pete solo project, even though it did have a lot of fellow Meher Baba enthusiasts taking lead roles as they were sitting in.
Similarly, there were guests like Mikey Dread and Tymon Dogg taking lead roles on Sandinista! tracks, but no one would say that it couldn't be credited as a work by The Clash.
And yes, the songs on The Who By Numbers are so personal that when you hear Daltry sing them you wonder, "What's HE doing here??"
