“

It would grow smoother and more assured over the years, but the slight bit of raggedness suits the funky, down-home performances and helps make this not only a great debut, but also an enduring blue-eyed soul masterpiece.

- Stephen Thomas Erlewine/AMG (4.5/5 Stars)

”

Boz Scaggs is the second album by Boz Scaggs. After two years with the Steve Miller Band, Scaggs once again set out on his own, recording at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The musicians include Duane Allman, Eddie Hinton, Jimmy Johnson, Barry Beckett, David Hood, Roger Hawkins and Al Lester. Produced by Rolling Stone Magazine Founder and Editor Jann Wenner, Boz Scaggs and Marlin Greene.

The album (SD-8239) sold slowly despite positive reviews. It remained in the catalog for a number of years and was deleted.

Originally mixed by Stax Records' engineer Terry Manning, in 1977 the album was remixed in Los Angeles by Tom Perry and was released by Atlantic (SD-19166) in 1978 to spotlight Duane Allman's guitar playing. The result was that many of the background voices and keyboards were much lower in the mix. This is the only mix currently available on CD, with the exception of "Loan Me a Dime" which is featured on the Duane Allman: An Anthology in its original incarnation.

In 2008, the album was reissued by Friday Music on a 180 gram vinyl LP using the original mix for the first time since the album was originally released.

Thanks aksman, not only for bringing us the finest selection in music but also for your experienced advices (not ironical). +1 for never playing vinyl while drinking.
Here's another one: Don't let your unexperienced friends handle your vinyls. After having a friends fingerprints all over a disc, I never let anyone touch anything again :P

Fornutately it was only the record that was damaged here and not the gear, so let's be thankful for that. ;)

Oh and thanks for the recording and for cleaning the damaged parts up. It's nice music if you're in the right mood and I'll give it a try when I am.

Many thanks for this upgrade. This release was the first new record I bought in over 25 years all thanks to your previous rip. My copy is still in mint condition.

And thanks from me too; any Scaggs is (always) appreciated. Maybe Silk Degrees down the line?

Thanks for this rip. It will be interesting to compare it to the original release.

Nice, thanks for this Boz Scaggs rip

Thanks for the chance to hear a new rip of Friday Music's Boz Scaggs S/T.

I prefer your Feb.2009 rip. This one has too much energy in the vocal sibilants for me.

The new artwork is, of course, much better!

Cheers.

aksman,

if i were in a squirrel hole with another man, and i wanted to listen to some great vinyl, i'd pick you!

My comparison to the 2009 rip has been very brief. I wanted a first impression (and will listen to both more carefully later) but based on some recent rips here from aksman's current rig (the James Taylor "JT" in particular) expected to concur with Ear Relevant's concern.

However, I don't yet hear the excessive or even minor vocal sibilance he mentions. I do easily hear more detail and honest character of both instruments and Scagg's voice without hyped-up treble.

thanks aksman, I listened to this rip (Redbook version) and I do not hear any sibilance issues.
