Original Album Series Vol. 2

Great way to get a bunch of cracking albums by one of the USA's (then) hardest-working live acts. They were funky, they rocked, and also did the Blues with panache. The live 'Blow Your Face Out' set gives some impression of their live brilliance, and the title track of Monkey Island shows that they could really innovate when they stretched out. They'd jump ship to EMI to have hits, of course, but the J Geils Band Atlantic Records catalogue is well worth investigation - and at this price, it's a bargain.

Great band

Stunning value - shame they only did 7 studio albums and 2 live albums on this label as this is why they stupidly make up the ten sets (Vols1 & 2) with a best of. These two sets are equally good with the plums being the live albums on each set.

The essence of the band is in here, but the cream remains in their Freze Frame album.

I had been lookig to replace my worn out 1975 Hotline album for many years but was not prepared to pay an exagerated price.This was a perfect solution and the bonus live material is also J Geils at their best.

good albums

Some good tracks a bargain.

Brilliant
