1045.0. "Blood, Sweat & Tears" by LESLIE::LESLIE (Andy) Sat Jan 09 1988 18:03

    
    One of my favourite sixties band's - Blood Sweat and Tears, have
    a "Greatest Hits" CD out on CBS.
    
    Are any of the original albums available in the USA?

    Yes, as a matter of fact, they have.
    
    I've seen the first and I believe that I have also seen the
    second.

I know I've seen BS&T 3 and at least one other.

I want them, but as they are released by CBS records, and I haven't yet dropped
my boycott, I haven't bought them yet.

    Just in case any B,S&T neophytes are looking in, the first album,
    "Child is Father to the Man" is on disc. It sounded great on lp
    and even better on CD. It, of course, featured Al Kooper on many
    vocals, since David Clayton-Thomas hadn't joined up yet. I think
    it's their best. 
    
    Blood, Sweat & Tears (their second album, featuring "Spinning Wheel,
    Sometimes in Winter & And When I Die), I haven't seen yet, but BST
    III (featuring Lucretia McEvil & Go Down Gamblin') and their "Greatest
    Hits" discs are around.
    
    I'd give CIFTTM, a 10 for performance and an 8 for sound.

1045.5BS&T 3 sounds greatSALEM::MGINGRASTwins for tradeTue Jan 12 1988 10:0510
    I recently bought a copy of BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS 3 for $9.99 at
    Strawberries.  It's digitally remastered and sounds great!
    The horns may be a bit brighter than you remember them (my vinyl
    copy has been played out) but I don't find it distracting.
    Their cover versions of Sympathy For The Devil and 40,000 Headmen
    still knock me out!  I wish they would put the second BS&T album
    at the budget price.
