ISP/Duet
Originally known as "The Rovin Kind," ISP toured the country from 1966 to 1971 playing with such prolific musicians and bands as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Byrds, The Grateful Dead, Chicago and many more. Though much of the personnel changed over the years, Paul Cotton (of Poco fame) and Kal David remained as the driving force. Though the
This is a limited edition remaster of Illinois Speed Press' two releases: "Illinois Speed Press" released in 1969, and "Duet" released in 1970. Bonus tracks, including singles, have been added to the first disc. Flash files providing band information, reviews, timelines, liner notes, have been added to the second disc. The remaster captures the music as the band meant for it to be heard. NOTE TO PURCHASERS: the original source tapes were close to unusable. As result, Futuredge was faced with the dilemma as to whether to cut out certain horrible sections or clean them as best as it could to preserve the integrity of the original music. Futuredge opted for the latter. You may hear in one or two songs a short digital glitch. There is nothing wrong with your CD player. Futuredge is continuing to use additional technologies to see if we can restore those few seconds to a more perfect quality.Also note that there were no source materials available for the bonus tracks. As a result, while Futuredge has made every attempt to "clean" these tracks, some noise will be heard. This is a very strong album with some different styles of music that totally work well. You had Kal David (Guitar & Vocals) his style is more bluesy. Check out Hard Luck Story & Free Ride and then there is future Poco singer and guitarist Paul Cotton who plays more of a Country Rock style check out Here Today & Pns When You Come Around. Another band from Chicago signed to Columbia Records and produced by James William Guercio. What is with all the complaining about the sound quality it sounds fine to me what i cant get over is the price of this cd $195 are you kidding take the 5 off and you got a deal. Who should be ashamed is Columbia Records why this wasnt issued on cd by them 20 years ago or so is beyond me. Apparently another Chicago band from that era called Aorta-1969 didnt get their albums released on cd either. Both Aorta and the first Illinois Speed Press album are two of the best rock related albums to come out of Chicago at any time along with Chicago Transit Authority. Listen to the song Pay The Price that is some dirty sounding guitar, Terry Kath of Chicago and Kal David have a similar guitar tone and style as well as the vocals.Im surprised no one has mentioned the similarities between the two. Side note For all of You Horn haters there is no brass on this album. Enjoy
