BOX SET
BEST PRICED COPY ON EBAY AS OF 5-6-2017. There is one other vinyl LP copy currently posted for $71 incl. post.
Beautiful copy of this out-of-print box set of this legendary US guitarist who was successful as a solo star as well as in Zephyr before later joining The James Gang (replacing Joe Walsh) and Deep Purple (replacing Ritchie Blackmore). This box set would be near mint if it were not for two external corners being split and a tiny “run on” split from one for less than an inch on one seem. Otherwise, it’s really choice. I lowered the price because of those two corners and I mention up in the condition section how to fix them. Best price on the Bay !!!
Here is what AllMusic has to say about this box: “Although guitarist Tommy Bolin died well before his time, he left a wide variety of recordings behind (as both a session musician and permanent member of several rock bands). One of the more versatile guitarists of all-time, Bolin touched upon many different styles - blues rock, heavy metal, jazz fusion, and serene ballads, which are all on display on 1989's 3 LP boxset, The Ultimate. In addition to the music, the set comes with a large, gorgeous 23 page booklet chock full of pictures, plus a very detailed and informative biography. The 3 discs chronicle (1) Bolin's early years with Zephyr, (2) his time with The James Gang, Deep Purple and Moxy as well as tracks from his two original solo LPs before he passed way. Standout tracksinclude (the amazing instrumental "Quadrant 4" with Billy Cobham, The James Gang's "Alexis" and "Standing In the Rain," etc.), "Golden Rainbows," "Nitrogyclerin with jazz drummer Alphonse Mouzon ("Golden Rainbows," "Nitrogyclerin"), "Gettin' Tighter"and "Owed to G from Deep Purple's final '70s line-up ("), and as a solo artist ("Dreamer," "Teaser," "Sweet Burgundy," "Shake the Devil," etc.). Although the set was out-of-print by the late-90's, 'The Ultimate' serves as a solid introduction to this amazing guitarist.”
In 1970, I saw Zephyr open for Joe Cocker, Maddogs & Englishman in San Antonio and he CRUSHED Alamo Town.
Stored vertically in a smoke free environment for 28 years.
