Traffic: John Barleycorn Must Die (Deluxe-Edition) auf 2 CDs

Rezensionen

,,Sehr gelungene Neuauflage." (Good Times, 06 / 07.2011)

"This deluxe edition spiffs up the sound with terrific remastering, keeping the original six track, 35 minute program on disc one and adding a second platter with three alternate takes (worthwhile for collectors but hardly essential) along with a November 1970, 40 minute Fillmore East live performance, professionally recorded and intended for release but scrapped."

"Disc two of this deluxe edition is comprised of live tracks, plus an alternative take and two alternative mixes, none of which will appeal to anyone not pleased by what he has heard on the first disc." (bbc. co. uk)

"John Barleycorn is a much more sophisticated affair, pointing more towards jazz and improvisation than folkish simplicity. Their arrangement of the song is a beautiful and economical one, the slightly soured tuning on the acoustic guitar offset by Chris Wood’s gorgeous, flighty flute trills." (uncut. co. uk)

"This was a well done reissue, certain to appeal to fans of the band and those interested at music that exists at the intersection of rock, pop and jazz. All three instrumentalists were open minded and worked together well to craft and excellent, now expanded album." (jazzandblues. blogspot. com)
