Now, I’ve already reviewed the original version of this album. But, I was very interested to hear what this 50th anniversary mix would sound like compared to the classic original.
Along with the album proper, there is a second disc comprised of b-sides and rough mixes, plus a John Peel session from the BBC. The remaster of the original is superb. Daydream just gives goosebumps as the clarity alone is stunning. The extra tracks are mainly edits, apart from B-Side Take A Fast Train which is a non album track and has a big Hendrix vibe, I guess it was left off because space. The Peel session is a killer addition. I hadn’t heard it before and is a warts and all power trio doing what it does best.
It’s worth buying for the remaster alone and it gets an extra half a mark.
9.5/10 from The Grooveman.
