Buddy Butchered March 26, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This CD is a reissue of two original Buddy Rich albums, the archetypal Swingin' New Band of 1966 and Keep the Customer Satisfied from a couple of years later.
In order to squeeze both albums onto one CD many of the tracks have been cut down, including two edits in the legendary West Side Story recording. In some places this cropping has been done so crudely that it must appear jumpy even to people who don't know the originals. Tellingly, even the pages of the liner notes are printed nonsensically out of order: the compiler not only didn't care about the music but apparently couldn't read.
If you like this music - and it is the very finest of its kind - then why would you want less of it rather than more?
Both of these albums are available on excellent CD reissues, at knock-down prices, each with half a dozen "bonus" tracks from their respective recording sessions. Search for Swinging New Band and Keep the Customer Satisfied under those titles and pick yourself up massive chunks of recording history - without the butchery.
And leave this one in the knacker's yard.
