Product Description
After a period of personal and professional reassessment Mick Taylor emerged from the shadows of his classic stint in the Rolling Stones with his first solo album. Mix Stonesy rock and blues, with Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow and the resulting stew will sound something like Mick Taylor's eponymous debut. A great cast of musicians also show up to support Mr. Taylor, including Lowell George (Little Feat), Pierre Moerlen (Gong) and keyboardist Jean Roussell (Cat Stevens). After a long absence this much overlooked release returns to compact disc with a fresh mastering from Grammy award winning engineer, Vic Anesini and new liner notes by Kris Needs. Release includes a very rare, promo-only single version of "Leather Jacket" with different guitar parts as a bonus track.

1. Leather Jacket
2. Alabama
3. Slow Blues
4. Baby, I Want You
5. Broken Hands
6. Giddy Up
7. S.W. 5
8. Spanish/A Minor

Bonus Track:
9. Leather Jacket (Promo Single Mix)

Thanks, Invisible.

I look forward to this! Always liked this album. Wish there were more bonus tracks, though. Still, can't wait to finally include that rare promo-only single version of Leather Jacket.

I'll look forward to this too. I have a European CD of the album, but, for unknown reasons, the "side 2" material seems to come from a hissy copy tape.

Bump: this has been pushed back to September 6th.

And if the history of past Iconoclassic releases is any indication, add another one to two months for further postponements. Of course, I'm holding onto my existing CD of the Mick Taylor album.

I like thiis album but this looks like a pretty underwhelming "expanded" version (one extra song that is just a single remix?).

Pass.

I got this CD from Amazon yesterday and finally gave it a spin today. It's a very nice sounding remaster (not loud or bright) with excellent packaging, including a nice booklet with a new essay. The label Icon/Classic is actually a Sony label, and the CD looks like the old Columbia label from the vinyl. According to the label on the shrink wrap: Digitally remastered from the session tapes... I hadn't listened to this album in years and never owned the original CD. I agree with the liner notes, it's definitely gotten better with age...

Mine's in the mail, as we speak. According to Amazon.com.

Btw, the bonus track single version of "Leather Jacket" is a slightly different mix, but also includes a tasty guitar solo not on the album version. Now if we could only get an official release (or a clean bootleg) of Dancing with Mr. D. that includes the Taylor guitar solo not on the album version (from Goats Head Soup).
