Description: Despite a couple of previous worthy studio efforts to their name, when Bloodshot came out in 1973, the J, Geils Band was best known for being a smokin hot live act, a reputation bolstered by the success of their previous album, Live Full House, which was their highest-charting record to date. But Bloodshot changed all that here was a studio record that captured all the raucous energy of their concerts, but tailored it into nine songs that maintained the band s hard rockin R&B virtues while also displaying a rapid artistic maturation. Give It to Me, for example, was their first self-penned hit and did the Stones one better with its funky, reggae-tinged groove, while the album also included the soon-to-be concert faves Southside Shuffle and (Ain t Nothin but a) House Party. But Bloodshot also delved into blues shuffles ( Struttin with My Baby ), jump blues ( Hold Your Loving ) and even heart-on-the-sleeve balladery ( Start All Over Again ) in short, this was the album where The J. Geils Band really arrived artistically, and they were rewarded with their first Top Ten album (and only one save for Freeze Frame, which came out eight years later).Now, Real Gone Music is proud to present this classic record in a first-time LP reissue, released on red vinyl for a limited time exactly the way early copies of the album were released back in 1973. We ve even re-created the original labels which were themselves re-creations of the old Atlantic Records labels for maximum verisimilitude. Remastering and lacquer cutting are by Peter Black this one sounds just as great as it did back in the day! tracksA1(Ain't Nothin' But A) House Party Written-By – Del Sharh, Joseph Thomas (2)4:43A2Make Up Your Mind Written-By – Wolf*, Justman*3:31A3Back To Get Ya Written-By – Wolf*, Justman*5:22A4Struttin' With My Baby Written-By – Wolf*, Justman*3:16A5Don't Try To Hide It Written-By – Wolf*, Justman*2:35B1Southside Shuffle Written-By – Wolf*, Justman*3:43B2Hold Your Loving Written-By – Bernice Snelson, Titus Turner2:30B3Start All Over Again Written-By – Wolf*, Justman*4:15B4Give It To Me Written-By – Wolf*, Justman*6:32
