With an instant, slamming opening borrowed from the Jimi Hendrix tune, "Manic Depression" - revved up and mutated, of course - this rare instrumental track from the fabled Jimmy Miller sessions with Beck, Bogert & Appice lives up to its legend. The 1973 take's got that smooth edge Miller put on Motorhead when that band's Overkill and Bomber albums received the producer's midas touch six years after these sounds made it to tape. The big difference, though - Motorhead's "Fast" Eddie Clarke is no Jeff Beck, and Mr. Beck's guitar prowess is absolutely on fire here. Recorded at CBS Studios in London, the jam composition by Jeff Beck, Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice runs four minutes and twenty-four seconds and contains many of the elements which made BBA such a great jazz/rock powerhouse. With George Martin having worked on the Blow By Blow (1975) and Wired (1976) discs, this one cut puts Beck in the enviable position of having been produced by the two legendary men who made some of the greatest records by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Outside of the long ending to The Stones' "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", there are few instrumentals recorded by Miller, a man known for polishing and directing songs like The Move's "Blackberry Way", Traffic's "Dear Mr. Fantasy" and over a hundred Jagger/Richards classics. That it took 1991s Beckology box for this epic to make its worldwide debut speaks volumes about the industry - great Hendrixian sounds from Beck locked up for eighteen years deprived fans of some extraordinary stuff. A real find for those who appreciate both Beck and the legendary Stones' producer.
