Jeff Beck's
BECK-FAST
TRADE MARK OF QUALITY - TMOQ 8204
SUPER RARE...ages old TMOQ nugget, issued in very small quantity in the '70s
This VERY SCARCE album was recorded at the O'Keefe Centre, Toronto July 23rd 1975 during 'The Blow By Blow Tour'. Pressed in the '70s by the infamous crew known as Trade Mark Of Quality, quality-conscious perfectionists who pressed all their albums on virgin vinyl, and perhaps the first underground label to start doing real, printed picture covers, and later colour picture covers (printed - not inserts under the shrink-wrap as seen on "head shop" underground lps).

In true 'Pig Trade Mark of Quality' humour, the LP has been marketed in the same way that a packet of Breakfast Cereal is. Just have a look at what is inside the bowl of cereal or the track listing being referred to as "Nutrition Information per Track' and the band referred to as 'Ingredients'. And of course the play of words with Breakfast and Beckfast is fairly obvious but we love their slogan: "A nice big platter of Beckfast for breakfast gives you more 'jam' per gram & more bounce per ounce to start you on your day" ! id="aswift_3" name="aswift_3" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation" width="295" height="0" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" src="https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-2518469281777524&output=html&h=250&adk=2188872274&adf=1448464192&pi=t.aa~a.3070046191~i.17~rp.1&w=295&fwrn=7&fwrnh=100&lmt=1675829398&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=4143253473&ad_type=text_image&format=295x250&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.popsike.com%2FJEFF-BECK-BECKFAST-VINYL-LP-TMOQ-TAKRL-SHRINK-NM%2F111880964017.html&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=246&rw=295&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&fa=27&uach=WyJBbmRyb2lkIiwiOS4wLjAiLCIiLCJTTS1KNjAwRk4iLCIxMDUuMC41MTk1Ljc3IixbXSx0cnVlLG51bGwsIiIsW1siR29vZ2xlIENocm9tZSIsIjEwNS4wLjUxOTUuNzciXSxbIk5vdClBO0JyYW5kIiwiOC4wLjAuMCJdLFsiQ2hyb21pdW0iLCIxMDUuMC41MTk1Ljc3Il1dLGZhbHNlXQ..&dt=1675829398619&bpp=25&bdt=2388&idt=25&shv=r20230206&mjsv=m202301250101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3De105cddbd046456e-22d82825a6db00cf%3AT%3D1675700032%3ART%3D1675700032%3AS%3DALNI_MZl7DY9DNJR0xnGOcPRqUqsOF9BWQ&gpic=UID%3D00000bd56dbb5f97%3AT%3D1675700032%3ART%3D1675829160%3AS%3DALNI_MassT1RhDM3r2PJlvbL_QIgq9VbkA&prev_fmts=0x0%2C295x250&nras=3&correlator=5457308878581&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1017233473.1675699964&ga_sid=1675829398&ga_hid=686321427&ga_fc=1&u_tz=60&u_his=50&u_h=740&u_w=360&u_ah=740&u_aw=360&u_cd=24&u_sd=2&dmc=2&adx=35&ady=3664&biw=360&bih=645&scr_x=0&scr_y=272&eid=44759876%2C44759927%2C44759842%2C44782467%2C31071887%2C44779793&oid=2&pvsid=2138167229594719&tmod=222965976&uas=0&nvt=1&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&eae=0&fc=384&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C360%2C0%2C360%2C645%2C360%2C645&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=128&bc=31&ifi=4&uci=a!4&btvi=2&fsb=1&xpc=5DxyeBxmgq&p=https%3A//www.popsike.com&dtd=221" data-google-container-id="a!4" data-google-query-id="CNTN3oCHhf0CFdIQBgAd8ysFkA" data-load-complete="true" style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; border: 0px; width: 295px; height: 0px;">
If you felt that Jeff Beck was on top of the game when he released Blow By Blow in 1975, you would not be disappointed with this live performance. There are many stories of Beck returning to the studio to overdub his guitar parts for this album but there is no such worries here - live, he is both fluid and mercurial.
.
According to The Rolling Stone Record Guide (1979), “After the stormy demise of Beck, Bogert and Appice, Beck changed course once again, and under George Martin’s production recorded Blow By Blow, an all-instrumental album (no more vocalists to worry about) that shows off Beck’s consummate abilities as a guitarist as never before. All styles served here, from to funk to jazz, and its success has led Beck into jazz-rock circles.”
On the other hand, music critic J.D. Considine didn’t mince words when he wrote that “An eloquent player with absolutely nothing to say, Beck isn’t much of a jazzman, but Martin works around the guitarist’s limitations, elegantly framing the solos with sympathetic rhythm arrangements and lush string orchestrations.” id="aswift_4" name="aswift_4" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation" width="295" height="0" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" src="https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-2518469281777524&output=html&h=250&adk=2188872274&adf=1042390671&pi=t.aa~a.3070046191~i.25~rp.1&w=295&fwrn=7&fwrnh=100&lmt=1675829399&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=4143253473&ad_type=text_image&format=295x250&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.popsike.com%2FJEFF-BECK-BECKFAST-VINYL-LP-TMOQ-TAKRL-SHRINK-NM%2F111880964017.html&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=246&rw=295&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&fa=27&uach=WyJBbmRyb2lkIiwiOS4wLjAiLCIiLCJTTS1KNjAwRk4iLCIxMDUuMC41MTk1Ljc3IixbXSx0cnVlLG51bGwsIiIsW1siR29vZ2xlIENocm9tZSIsIjEwNS4wLjUxOTUuNzciXSxbIk5vdClBO0JyYW5kIiwiOC4wLjAuMCJdLFsiQ2hyb21pdW0iLCIxMDUuMC41MTk1Ljc3Il1dLGZhbHNlXQ..&dt=1675829398685&bpp=22&bdt=2453&idt=22&shv=r20230206&mjsv=m202301250101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3De105cddbd046456e-22d82825a6db00cf%3AT%3D1675700032%3ART%3D1675700032%3AS%3DALNI_MZl7DY9DNJR0xnGOcPRqUqsOF9BWQ&gpic=UID%3D00000bd56dbb5f97%3AT%3D1675700032%3ART%3D1675829160%3AS%3DALNI_MassT1RhDM3r2PJlvbL_QIgq9VbkA&prev_fmts=0x0%2C295x250%2C295x250&nras=4&correlator=5457308878581&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1017233473.1675699964&ga_sid=1675829398&ga_hid=686321427&ga_fc=1&u_tz=60&u_his=50&u_h=740&u_w=360&u_ah=740&u_aw=360&u_cd=24&u_sd=2&dmc=2&adx=35&ady=4962&biw=360&bih=645&scr_x=0&scr_y=524&eid=44759876%2C44759927%2C44759842%2C44782467%2C31071887%2C44779793&oid=2&pvsid=2138167229594719&tmod=222965976&uas=3&nvt=1&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&eae=0&fc=384&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C360%2C0%2C360%2C645%2C360%2C645&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=128&bc=31&ifi=5&uci=a!5&btvi=3&fsb=1&xpc=yH3Lh8eD3p&p=https%3A//www.popsike.com&dtd=849" data-google-container-id="a!5" data-google-query-id="CIvfiIGHhf0CFVPJ1QodOd8CzA" data-load-complete="true" style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; border: 0px; width: 295px; height: 0px;">
But for the fan listening to this show, it is quite sublime. As the concert taper Dan Lampinski noted: “Jeff Beck’s performance was one of the single greatest guitar performances that I ever witnessed”
.
The concert was also reviewed by Bruce Kirkland who wrote for the Star Newspaper in Toronto.
He noted that Beck was a reserved performer, writing that " he never looked at the audience in the face when he performed but rather played eyed games with drummer Bernard Purdie and the two cajoled each other into higher and greater and more intense bursts of his tension power rock, then guided each other through the smoother passages of jazz rock.
