Description

BBA was a shortlived super group made up of Jeff Beck GuitarVocals, Tim Bogert BassVocals, and Carmen Appice DrumsVocals. Their brief, meteoric trajectory as a band included the 1973 release of their eponymous debut studio album, Beck, Bogert amp Appice. On May 18th and 19th 1973, they recorded a live show at Koseinenkin Hall in Osaka, Japan, which was released as Live In Japan. The album was only released in Japan and has not been in print widely for some time. Jeff Becks team also discovered a previously unreleased live show recorded at the Rainbow Theatre in London on the 26th of January 1974. The original masters were located and cleaned up where necessary by all three band members, with full approval by Carmine Appice, Tim Bogert, who passed away in 2021 and Jeff Beck, who passed earlier this year. These two amazing live shows will now be properly released or the first time in five decades as Beck, Bogert amp Appice Live 1973 amp 1974. Both shows include an eclectic mix of rock, blues, boogie and experimental cuts that reflect the musical prowess of the super group. Superstition appears in both concerts, with a heavy pocket groove, highlighted by Becks solo and Talk Box contributions. Going Down and Morning Dew, featured in the Japan set, went on to become ongoing staples in Becks live show. The skill and musicianship of Appice and Bogert are displayed throughout and Becks unmatched guitar process is in full effect. Beck, Bogert amp Appice Live 1973 amp 1974 will include an expansive booklet with extended liner notes detailing the story of the group by music journalistmanager Bruce Pilato, along with memorabilia, archival photos, and a replica poster. Beck, Bogert & Appice Vinyl is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £135 +P&P
