Binding : Audio CDEAN : 5013929717527Label : EsotericManufacturer : EsotericPublisher : EsotericRelease date : 2008-09-01Title : Whatever Turns You OnFormat : Original recording remasteredOriginal release date : 1973-01-01Studio : EsotericNumber of discs : 1 I bought this CD as I really like Leslie West and all of the stuff he does. However, this one is a bit of a let down. The tracks themselves are good but the quality of the re-mastering leaves alot to be desired and sounds quite muffled on all tracks.
This is really a wonderful, totally underrated album. Featuring some of Jack Bruce's finest bassplaying ever, and two of his greatest compositions, "November Song" and "Like A Plate". Whereas Leslie West shines on some Mountain-like heavy blues rockers like "Rock And Roll Machine". But it really is Jack's album, his multilayered vocals and distinct piano/keyboardstyle dominating the picture.

br /Although all three considers this time a lowpoint in their lives, due to heavy abuses of all sorts, it does not come through in the music which sounds inspired and subtle. From the classic powertriojam ending "Token", the Procol Harum like "Sifting Sand", with one of those powerful Leslie West gospelvocals ,over the delicious piano and guitarduo "Slow Blues" to the avantgardelike ending to "Like A Plate", clearly reflecting Jack's collaboration with Carla Bley on "Escalator Over The Hill".

br /Time to re-valuate this lost masterwork from a powertrio, that was far better than it's reputation.
