Album Description
The first album by Californian blues-rock legends, Pacific Gas and Electric, reissued for the first time and enhanced by the addition of almost three quarters of an hour's worth of previously unissued material from the album sessions. Reissued with the approval and complete co-operation of the surviving members of PG & E, this deluxe edition also features many previously unpublished shots of the band performing at late 60s music festivals and a sleeve note that draws on the reminiscences of key PG & E members Brent Block and Frank Cook. The PG & E website has been trumpeting the release of this set for almost a year - which is how long it's been in the making - and demand for recent CD reissues of their subsequent Columbia albums indicates that there'll be strong sales for the hardest to find of all their original albums and the one that's been out of print for the longest time. This raw and exciting electric blues still shows exactly why PG & E were one of the most highly rated - and still among the best remembered - groups of their era.

I've been waiting July 11, 2008

I've waited years for this to come out on CD. This was always one of my favorite LP's and I thought it would never be re-released. Cry Cry Cry and Jelly Jelly are two of my favorite versions of these blues classics.
Great guitar and vocals.
Guitar Glenn! June 22, 2008
Schwartz's tone on "Dirty Mistreater" is simply stellar! Glenn still plays weekly in Cleveland and is truly one of the best living guitar players. He can go toe to toe with anyone. He really is a legit guitar God, but without the widespread fame. Check this release out though. The quality is good and there are some great blues guitar licks throughout!
A Great Reissue May 24, 2008

I always enjoyed the Are You Ready LP and spent a few years with it on my list before I finally came across it somewhere on CD. I thought this band had just been forgotten by the world and it was a shamw.
I must have ordered this one the first week it came out. I could see all the blues covers, so I figured and hoped it would have a lot of Glenn Schwartz. I was a little worried about how the sound quality would be. Have no fear, this sounds great, nice and clean, lots of highs and lows in the mix. There is a ton of Glenn to enjoy. Right now I'm liking it more than Are You Ready, but I just got it today. Are You Ready has some nicely produced variations on the blues format, where this is more straight ahead, liver sounding, with lots of great covers. There is no slippage in the bonus material either. It is mostly alternate takes with different solos and a couple songs not on the original album This album is totally worth it. Thanks to everyone involved.

I looked over a few battered copies of this recording on lp, and chose to wait for it on cd, after so many years, it finally is available! Since I truly enjoy this group, specifically "Guitar Glen" I must say I have held very high hopes for this, and it is even better than my expectations. I've listened through it once, can't comment on sound quality yet, but the music itself is very enjoyable, plenty of exquisite guitar work, and of course, the singing is top notch. Extra tracks have been used to fill up the cd, and I enjoyed each, even the alternate takes. Get this cd, no hesitation, it is timeless, you won't think it is "from 1968", it is simply very enjoyable quality music.
