Taste: I'll Remember auf 4 CDs

Product Information

# Taste was formed in Cork, Ireland, in August 1966 as a trio consisting of Rory Gallagher on guitars and vocals, Eric Kitteringham on bass, and Norman Damery on drums. In their early years Taste toured in Hamburg and Ireland before becoming regulars at Maritime Hotel, an R&B club in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

»How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher.« - Jimi Hendrix

In 1968 Taste began performing in the UK where the original line-up split up. The new line-up formed with Richard McCracken on bass and John Wilson on drums. The new Taste moved permanently to London where they signed with the record label Polydor. In April 1969, Taste released the first of their two studio albums, the self-titled Taste, with On the Boards following in early 1970, the latter showing the band's jazz influences with Gallagher playing saxophone on numerous tracks.

In 1970 Taste toured Europe but were disbanded by Gallagher, who decided to pursue a solo career, performing their last show on New Year's Eve in Belfast.

USM are proud to present both of Taste's studio albums plus two extra discs featuring live recordings from Stockholm, London and at the Woburn Abbey Festival. All which were previously unreleased and would make a great addition to any fan's collection.

Rezensionen

»Die vier CDs umfassende Box I’LL REMEMBER präsentiert natürlich schwerpunktmäßig die gemeinhin mit Taste identifizierte zweite Besetzung, doch auch das Originaltrio kommt zu Gehör: Ihm ist ein Silberling gewidmet, der ›The Belfast (Early) Sessions‹ (sieben interessante Demos von 1967 plus zwei Singles) und ›Live At Woburn Abbey‹ beim dortigen Festival 1968 enthält.«
