The tenth studio album from this band from USA.
The band is a quartet on this album with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
This version of Vanilla Fudge is more or less the classic lineup of the band. Or let me clarify that.... This is the classic lineup of Vanilla Fudge.
Vanilla Fudge was a great band in itself. Their debut album is a classic, classic album. The band was just on the level below the most popular and best bands from the late 1960s and early 1970s. The same generation as Led Zeppelin, in other words.
Led Zeppelin was head and shoulders above the rest of the scene. We will never ever see a band like this again. Period.
This is why I cannot fathom why Vanilla Fudge has released an album of Led Zeppelin covers. It really baffles me.
Vanilla Fudge's versions of these twelve Led Zeppelin classics is psych rock versions of these tracks. None of them are any good or among the better covers of these songs. The originals is many country miles better than any cover versions, including the twelve versions on this album.
This reasoning behind recording and releasing this album baffles me.
When that is said, the music is not bad. This is a decent album. A strange but still a decent album.
But Vanilla Fudge as a band is so much better than a cover version band.
