Jeff Beck is a guitarists’ guitarist – constantly named by other greats as one of the greatest but not given quite the same public acclaim.

This 1975 album – orchestrated, arranged, and produced by George Martin – has two Stevie Wonder songs (“Case We’ve Ended As Lovers” and “Thelonious”), a Beatles cover (“She’s a Woman”) as well as joint compositions by Beck and members of the backing band, including “Diamond Dust” by Bernie Holland of Hummingbird (itself an offshoot of the Jeff Beck Group).

It was the first credited to Beck as a solo artist rather then the Jeff Beck Group.

My copy, via Vinyl Destination in Lowell MA, is a 1975 pressing on the groovy orange concentric Epic labels.
