	The Great Fatsby New - LP - BLP1-0954 Sealed 1975 Original Featuring Mick Jagger. Small Saw Cut. Original Gemco Price Tag On The Shrink Wrap. “…It Opens With A Nice And Bluesy Paul Kelly Tune, "Don't Burn Me," And For The Post-Mountain Work Here, That Direction Works Best. "The House Of The Rising Sun" Features A Duet With Dana Valery And Is An Interesting Read On The Traditional Tune Made Famous By The Animals. Mick Jagger Plays Some Guitar On A Tune Credited To Himself, Keith Richards, West, Corky Laing, And Sandra Palmer. "High Roller" Is A Second Cousin To "Brown Sugar," And For Rolling Stones Fans, It's A Must Have, A Rare '70s Co-Write And Collaboration With Another Artist. For Leslie West Fans, The Album Is A Departure From The Mountain Onslaught And A Treat. "I'm Gonna Love You Thru The Night" Has An Elegant Guitar Riff And Brings West Back To The Blues. Though It's An Original From Corky Laing And His Guitarist, The Influence Of The Band Free Is Obvious. West Does An Admirable Job On Andy Fraser's "Doctor Love" On Side Two, As Well As The Free Song "Little Bit Of Love." Tim Hardin's "If I Were A Carpenter" Is A Total Diversion For The Hard Rock Guitar Slinger, And It Comes Off Very Nicely. At Five Minutes And 20 Seconds, "Carpenter" Is The Album's Longest Track. The Instrumental "E.S.P." Might Be The Strongest Statement Here (Isn't That The Name Of Label Owner Bud Prager's Management Firm, E.S.P.?). With 12-String Guitars And Superb Musicianship, It's The Best Of West On Display. Gary Wright Makes An Appearance On This Album On Piano, And The Great Fatsby Emerges As A Unique Look At An Important Rock & Roll Artist With Some Surprises Tucked Inside.” Joe Viglione, AMG. more
