Jeff Beck

'Wired'

Epic, UK, 1975

EPC 69117

BLISTERING ALL instrumental album from the master of his craft. For me, this album is the penultimate example of his early period. The tracks are all very sympathetic to instrumental treatment and his lead playing is utterly evocative providing the perfect substitute for the absence of vocals. Surrounded by incredible players including keyboardists Max Middleton (from the Jeff Beck Group) and Jan Hammer, drummer Richard Bailey and bassist Wilbut Bascombe the music is uncluttered but hugely expressive. Sure, many have classified the style as jazz fusion but the rock element is always at the foreground pushing and pulling where it matters most.

Songwise there are some interesting covers including 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat' (written by Charlie Mingus) and several Narada Michael Walden penned toons. 'Wired' remains an all time classic and a high point in Becks not inconsiderable arsenal. His guitar work is literally off the hook on the majority of these tracks and the production by George Martin is a lesson in consummate sonic architecture.

Beautiful gold stamped promo copy.

This auction is part of a fantastic collection of seventies rock which I was lucky enough to acquire. Most of these records were stored with the utmost care and sparsely played. Some were possibly never played or may have been for just a handful of times.
