This was the first version of "Baby Please Don't Go" I ever did hear. The guitar is so crisp and simply awesome... No other version or rendition compares - It will always be my favourite version!

[@spacialinstallations]

His voice....... I'll never forget hearing this album for the first time....... life changer........

[@keithrigden7597]

This was the 1st version of this song I'd heard...when this vinyl was fresh. Most underrated power trio in the history of power trios.

This Album has SO many memories of the music, and sounds of the 70's, i have made it my #1!

[@jmorgan3977]

Excellent use of stereo. This album is so much fun to listen to with headphones.

[@444Guitarboy]

This is one of my favorite versions of this song, other than the Amboy Dukes and the AC/DC versions.

Agreed, I particularly like Bon's take on this but this was the first I'd heard and still my favorite.

[@terrypussypower]

Lesser groups would've made an entire song out of that riff (1:34)! But they chuck in the middle of a cover version!!

[@KaliyugRenegade]
