James Gang Featuring Joe Walsh – The Best Of The James Gang Featuring Joe Walsh

My copy matches these labels and upper corner outer sleeve. My matrix however, ends with an etched T S M.

Great compilation and superb sound, stellar soundstage and dynamic range. But there is a tape or lacquer defect right at the start of funk #49. I say it's a tape / lacquer issue because I had originally purchased the 200g pressing and the issue was there (ended up returning). Recently purchased through Acoustic Sounds this version (180g) and it had the same issue. Returned it again and actually went through two replacement copies with the same problem. The representative was extremely helpful and tried to listen through a few more copies in-house. Same issue. That led us to believe it's something with the tape or lacquer. I decided to keep it despite being offered a full refund. There are additional ticks spread throughout other songs too, but it is less bothersome. This remains the best option out there.

2022 review. Vinyl is dead quiet, which hasn’t always been the case from QRP in the past couple years. Absolutely phenomenal sound. Warm analog sounding and the separation of the instruments is mind blowing. The Bass literally kicks so much ass! Highest recommendation.

Correct catalog number for this 8-track release is 802 20774. The image reflects this correctly, but the label info shows it as 802-2774. Would like to list this one but want to make sure the listing specifics are consistent with the actual item. Thanks!

My promo copy of this LP includes the full (7:04) version of Closet Queen, including the Bolero section, although the label itself still lists the time as 5:39. The matrix number is ABCX 774-A-B1. Anyone know anything about this particular pressing?

I once had a version with the complete Bomber, including the Bolero, just as it appeared on the first 10000 copies of Rides Again. Sold it 5 years ago, I don't have any data any more. Somebody can add that version?

Great pressing and wonderful sound quality but lately AP seems to have turned a blind eye to QC as all my late AP purchases are hastily packed and come out filthy with grime and gunk. Even though I vacuum washed the record my stylus literally ploughed away a considerable amount of gunk. Now some will not like this but it's the truth and I'll keep on posting it.

Superb stuff, Kevin Gray is on fire at the moment. I'm pretty much buying anything I see with his name on. This pressing is the full package.

The Best Of The James Gang - Anallogue Production APP - 120 US 2018
This is no ordinary "Best Of", this is very high quality music. You will not be disappointed, hearing James Gang from 1969 -1971 with such clear sound is amazing. The only flaw is The Bomber doesn't include " Belero ", which is the highlight of that song.

The definition of the induvidual instruments on these Analogue Productions reissues is just such a higher quality than your typical reissue. It's like Kevin Gray is able to go in and fine tune each instrument perfectly for an overall higher fidelity. The drums sound smashing, bold and punchy and the deep, rich bass tone makes the low end on this release full and beefy. The saturation of sound is enormous with exceptional stereo separation and a spacious soundstage that really adds life to the music and fills the room wonderfully. Can't say enough good things about this reissue. Never let down by AP, flawless pressing.
