Is it any good? Worth buying?

Let's put it this way: if you don't know how to spend 15 euros, there are 1000 discs that are worth buying before Jamming. BUT for a stones fan it is, I believe, very interesting and worth the money. As the title says, its basically the Stones jammin without Keith. One can say it is an example of how the stones could have been with Ry Cooder in Keith's boots. Veri informative for all the Keith detractors ...

C

Bill plays a great bass solo on one track. The mysterious thing about it is that all tracks are Hopkins-Cooder-Watts "compositions" (Mick the Modest!) but Bill gets no composer credit!

If you like booguie booguie, it's great. If you like jams, it's great. If you like good music, it's great. It's one of my favourites, and nicky and bill are on fire.

Mick's friends w/ Charlie, not Bill; felt obligated to embittered Cooder, Hopkins adds lots of the melodic stuff...At worst - like the needle got stuck in middle of Midnight Rambler (bootleg version); Very good track: Elmore James "Hurts Me Too" (6 min)
The riddim section cooks...but mediocre sound quality. Originally I think $2.98 or $3.98. Nice cover (vinyl)
Concept - listener's a fly on studio wall as stones wait for keith.

Great summin up LOL - "like the needle got stuck in the middle of Midnite Rambler" . That is good.

If you're a true Stones hardcore this album is a must. Otherwise it is some good jams in E.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

It is a must. Stones groove at its best, curiously without any Stones guitar player.

I have photo of a very nice looking man with a great tan and an impressive chest, and a pass with "The Joker" on it. The other person in the photo is... The Rhythm Core of Rock'n'Roll. The other one cals himself The Dancing Philosopher. Is that you, Joker??? Want the photo back?

I have an original US LP, I think in (nearly) mint condition. 18 EUR incl. (!) Euro shipping.

Please let me know if interested: liubusua@yahoo.de

I think when they released this originally they did so at a low price ($3.98 or something) with a justification that this was all it was worth

Nice curio (for me anyway as Cooder is probably my favourite guitarist), havent listened to it in years, though as I only own it on vinyl. Pity Mick is off-mike on so much of it, however. Like the version of 'It Hurts me too' - anyone else notice that Mick sings a verse of Dylan's "Pledging My Time" on it?

Gazza...Dylan has admitted somewhere in interview
that he structured Pledging around Elmore James..
It Hurts Me... and Elmore lifted it from Tampa Red....



ROCKMAN

Hilarious jam also, with MJ singing "Those where the days" and NH playing classic music on the piano

shidoobee : I don't consider myself as a a nice looking man, also I have a normal chest, no bubs.

booooobs....joker boobs

Guess it's not you, then. I found the photos in my hotel room in Bergen. And I have no idea who left them there - but if they'd been mine - I definitely would have loved to get them back. So if you hear of someone who lost his photos of himself and Keith - Well, I'm keeping them safe untill the owner comes forward.

There's this one cut (I think it's called Highland Fling) where Nicky just goes nuts -- I love that track.

Bought it around 25 years ago. And I'm still into it.

Never read that, but it certainly makes sense

Dylan then covered 'It hurts me too' on self portrait a few years later

Isn't Dylan supposed to be "quoting" old traditional songs from the public domain on "Modern Times"? E.g the way he does on "The Levee is going to break"?

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

buy it........it's great,,,,

BUY IT!! ITS GREAT..
to be honest i never really liked it when i had it on a album..(1972)

nicky h. sounds soooo good..some great blues jams....neat to see what the stones were really into back then.. no keith....but ry is great.
anyway buy it you'll like it!

That is the second time I have seen the Juvetino Rosas name used. Is it some inside joke? On the circus CD there is a credit for an in-between clip called "beyond the Waves" or somehting like that. By Juventino Rosas. then of course the opening is credited to Julius Fucik.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

A must buy album if you are a Nicky fan.

The cartoons were provided by Nicky who was a comic book fan and once had an ambition to draw comics for a living.

Get it! It's got some cool jams, and Nicky Hopkins' playing is incredible!

I have the original vinyl. Cool jams, but more of audience-recorded bootleg quality. Nicky's playing is great.

I saw it recently available in CD. Is the sound quality any better?

the way I look at Jamming with edward is that is a group of talented people just kind of doing something thats across between f*cking around and showing off.


but RNT I would say its worth buying, its pretty cheap. I forget the actual price, but its less than a regular CD.

I always wondered if the release of JWE was prompted in part by Ry Cooder's accusations at the time that the Stones "kept the tapes rolling" when he was in the studio and they ripped him off.

Ry was embittered at Captain Beefheart too.
BTW the orig cover (best seen on vinyl) is by Nicky, partly seems to be based on some stuff he drew as a kid.

OK now I know about Juventino Rosas. I actually have a piece by him; but I thought it wasd a Viennese Waltz. It actually is his most famous piece called "Sobre Las Olas" - "Over the Waves". He was a Mexican violinist and composer. the Stones used his piece to open the circus but his piece has been used in COUNTLESS movie soundtracks; often uncredited.
I really thought the Stones were goofing around like when Keith comes up with whacky names.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."
