When it was originally released the Jeff Beck Group's second album, featured a famous sleeve note on its back cover:
"Today, with all the hard competition in the music business, it's almost impossible to come up with anything totally original. So we haven't. However, this disc was made with the accent on heavy music. So sit back and listen and try and decide if you can find a small place in your heads for it."
Beck was reacting to the success of peers and competitors like Cream and Led Zeppelin, bands that had been all over the charts with a hard rock sound soon to be dubbed heavy metal, and indeed, his sound employs much the same brand of "heavy music" as theirs, with deliberate rhythms anchoring the beat, over which the guitar solos fiercely and the lead singer emotes.
The album is heightened by the distinctive vocals of Rod Stewart, and Beck-Ola easily could have been the album to establish the Jeff Beck Group as the equal of the other heavy bands of the day.
Unfortunately, a series of misfortunes occurred. Beck canceled out of a scheduled appearance at Woodstock; he was in a car accident that sidelined him for over a year; and Stewart and bass player Ron Wood decamped to join Faces, breaking up the group. Nevertheless, Beck-Ola stands as a prime example of late-'60s British blues-rock and one of Beck's best records.
Side 1:
All Shook Up (Otis Blackwell) 4:53
Spanish Boots (Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart and Ron Wood) 3:37
Girl From Mill Valley (Nicky Hopkins) 3:49
Jailhouse Rock (Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller) 3:14
Side 2:
Plynth (Water Down the Drain) (Nicky Hopkins, Rod Stewart and Ron Wood) 3:09
The Hangman's Knee (Jeff Beck, Nicky Hopkins, Tony Newman, Rod Stewart and Ron Wood) 4:49
Rice Pudding (Jeff Beck, Nicky Hopkins, Tony Newman and Ron Wood) 7:22
LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Both labels are clean and unmarked with only light spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+/VERY GOOD+
Side One is practically unmarked apart from hairlines under bright light.
Side Two has a long mark which is purely superficial and does not sound
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Loud, strong STEREO cut with a very dirty sound - not in its condition but in its 'one-take' raw, immediate live feel.
Play-checked at volume it sounds tremendous and I found nothing of note to fault.
No scratches, clicks, ticks or pops and very clean
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD+
The cover is good and solid but there is some discolouration, a small number written in biro and a little damage to the bottom flipback - all fairly minor
