Literally A Last Gasp for Spooky Tooth.......2007-02-04

In 1968 I was drawn into Spooky Tooth, a band that at the time was one of Island Record's "best kept secrets." Already familiar with many of Island's avant garde rock acts (Traffic, Fairport Convention, Free, Jethro Tull) I was eager to hear what these lads from Carlisle had to offer. I was floored by "It's All About" and even more impressed by "Spooky Two." from there the splintering of the band and the subsequent releases "Ceremony" and "The Last Puff" were clearly downhill endeavors. This re-issue of "The Last Puff" demonstrates that fact with the original tracks augmented by the somewhat earlier singles. A case in point is the album version of Elton John's "Son Of Your Father," which when compared to the earlier single release of the same tune (even using the same instrumental track), shows that Gary Wright's strong lead vocals intertwined with Mike Harrison's are absent from the album's rendition and the latter suffers somewhat from their omission. Truth is this album was a contractual obligation and not really a credible step forward. Still it does mark the final stage of an extraordinary band, and can be appreciated for what it is: a final hurrah or a last puff.

Did it have to be the Last Puff?.......2001-10-02

The 'Last Puff' is the greatest musical accomplihment "Spooky Tooth" has made in thier on again/off again career starting in 1968.
I am hard pressed to think of a better song, to play very loud, than Spooky Tooth's take on the "Beatles" classic, 'I am the Walrus'. The sheer volume that Luther Grosvenors guitar is played and recorded on this, the lead track of the album is inspiring.
'Nobody there at all' is one of the best examples of Spooky Tooths tradition of offering thier special flair of interpretating. I would have said that "Elton Johns 'Son of your father'" is but I'm more partial to Eltons version.
The Gary Wright penned tune 'The Wrong Time' suffers only in that the "Dream Weaver" had not sung on the song, having left the band earlier in the year(1970).
The saddest day in this bands career was when splintered once again after the release of 'The Last Puff' and Luther Grosvenor left the band for greater stardom in 'Mott the Hoople'. Some would argue that that was OK since within the next year or 18 months Gary Wright would have come back to the band. But, even though the band would recapture the interplay vocals of Gary and Mike Harrison, the band had also irreparably lost the instrumental interplay of melody and rhythm from Luther and Greg Ridley/bass which was just as important as the vocalization.
One area that seems to miss alot of reviewers response is the musical ability of the band, which didn't just happen to come to them in time to record 'Spooky Two'. Which is the other main reason to give this effort a listen. The recently demised "Grease Band" alumni of Henry McCulloch/guitar, Allen Spenner/bass, and the now deeply missed Chris Stainton/bass/piano/organ/guitar, who was so instrumental in the early rise of Joe Cocker in '68/69.
The 'Grease Band' addition for this album gives the overall sound of the Spooky Tooth band the muscle it had lost due to internal collapse following the release of the earlier 1970 album "Ceremony".
One only wonders what could have been, unfortunately the band had taken its Last Puff and ran out of gas. All later renditions of the the band were really just vehicles for some alterior motive and lacked the original quintets ability to create and interpret on a level of early "Traffic" if not better.
If you are going to buy only one album/CD of 'Spooky Tooth' the this is the one.

Without Gary Wright, There is No Spooky Tooth!.......2001-05-20

This album tanks! Mike & Gary sharing vocals WAS Spooky Tooth. When Gary left, Spooky died, same with Mike being gone on "The Mirror" That was the beginning of the end. Even now, Spooky isn't Spooky until ALL players come home.

2nd best album by spooky tooth.......2000-10-01

only the tremendous spooky two album tops this one. their version of david ackles' down river is great as is the i am the walrus cover and their version of elton john's son of your father. spooky tooth were great with other people's material. mike harrison was surely one of the finest british vocalists of this or any period.this is a fine album worth picking up , not quite a classic( there's a pair of mediocre cuts on this ) but above average.

A Seminal Work.......2000-04-18

This is one of the great blues/rock albums. I want to echo a previous reviewer that three of the original members remained but, most importantly, Gary Wright had left. Chris Stainton, who guided Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishman tour, fills in. Alan Spenner on bass eventually would turn up on Roxy Music's Avalon album. This album combines an emotional wail with searing guitar passages that send shivers up my spine. If any album deserves a "Gold" remastering treatment this is it. In terms of its genre it ranks with Beggars Banquet and The Byrds Untitled.

If you've never heard Spooky Tooth..........2000-01-25

and you like solid rock with depth and emotion... you've got to hear this album. I first bought the 8 track version of this album! then the LP back in 1970. Now I own the CD. This music and this album carry an emotional punch that epitomizes the depth and potential of rock in that era. The "unevenness and muddy" sound mentioned by one reviewer only add to the unique qualities and character of this album... It just wouldn't work any other way. This music incites feelings that take you back (me anyway) to a time when rock was an adventure just beginning.

Hello, everybody! Merry Christmas! I'll be there in two minutes........2006-12-17

This was the 1999 Christmas CD by LA based radio station KROQ and their poular deejays Kevin & Bean. As usual, it features a mixture of songs and comedy material. Unlike on some albums released by deejays, the comedy material is actually funny. Especially funny are: a parody of Bruce Springsteen's version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", Christmas songs sung wrongly by "Karl Malone" and Kevin bothering guys with stupid questions about Christmas while they are sitting on the toilet in the men's room at the mall. As for the songs, most of them are quite good, although the one by Korn is awful. The songs by Save Ferris and Blink 182 are great, but they are repeated from the previous year's CD, so points off for that. I liked most of the other songs, some of which are hard to find elsewhere. This is worth getting, if you can find it.

Probably the Best of the KROQ Christmas CDs........2004-11-13

This is a Half-Decent Collection, with some songs by some artists you can't get anywhere else. It also has a whole lot of lame skits that are used as filler to make it appear that there is more to this CD than there actually is. When will radio personalities quit thinking they are comedians? They like to hear their own voices more than people who have to tolerate them on the radio. For this reason, I have put stars (*) next to the tracks that are actually worth listening to. Just to let you know, if Amazon adds the track list later, I'm the first one who listed them here, so don't be a jerk and say my review isn't helpful when they do that, like other people have done on my other reviews when I listed the track list. Hmm, let's see.. I wouldn't put the track list up if it was there already when I wrote it.. duh! Anyway, I hope this helps you in your decision as to whether you should buy this or not.
