Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Buyer's beware is right!.......2007-05-07

I wish I would have read these reviews before I bought this CD,really wanted a copy of Boogie with Canned Heat,but the radio version of Fried Hockey boogie sucks! Will probably give it away.

2 out of 5 stars Potential Buyers Beware!.......2003-08-16

Watch out for this one, friends: The mastering on the "Boogie With Canned Heat" album is horrendous! The self-titled debut album sounds just as good as you'd expect; good wide stereo and all--but something went terribly wrong with the follow-up. "Boogie" is, unquestionably, one of the greatest blues/boogie/rock albums of all time, and I've waited many years to get a good copy of the complete album on cd. On this release, however, not only is the sound quality not quite up to the standard worthy of the moniker "remastered," but the stereo separation is so poor that had I not been listening with headphones, I'd have thought the album was in straight mono--and frankly, it might as well be. To add insult to injury, the classic closer (and one of Heat's signature tracks), "Fried Hockey Boogie" is edited down from its 11-minutes-+ complete version to under eight minutes!
In a nutshell, then: Properly recorded & mastered, this cd would easily rank 5 stars--but the inexplicable butchering of the "Boogie" album knocks it a full 3 stars down the ladder where I'm concerned. This is the kind of review I hoped I'd never have to write, but I thought I'd pass it along so you have an idea what you're getting if you decide to buy.

2 out of 5 stars Great Blues & Boogie--But Buyer, "Heeeeeed My Warning!".......2003-08-07

I've waited a good long while for these two albums--but particularly "Boogie With Canned Heat"--to come out, properly remastered, on cd, so you can imagine how eager I was to get this release when I saw it. Well, the first album sounds fine enough, but as I listened to "Boogie," my enjoyment slowly turned to fury: The mastering on this, Heat's second and best album, is horrendous! The stereo separation is so poor that had I not been listening with headphones, I'd have thought it was straight mono--and it might just as well be. For Bgo to claim this stuff was remastered is utterly preposterous: If anyone tries to tell me the "Boogie" album was mastered from a first-generation recording (or anything remotely close), I'll punch 'em in the nose. Believe me, people, it's that bad. This great band--and this great album--deserve a much more respectful, professional treatment. By the same token, for a $19 cd, we Heat fans deserve a lot better than this. Finally, to pour a few more grains of salt into the wounds, the album's classic closer, "Fried Hockey Boogie," is edited down from its 11-minutes-plus form we know and love to under eight minutes (Sunflower's guitar solo is slashed into less than half, and there are several chops in the Bear's rapping.) I've bought other cds on the Bgo label in the past and gotten pretty much what I expected, but after hearing this one, I don't suppose I'll buy another one on the label unless I've had an opportunity to hear it first. In summation: If you love this music (as do I) but don't care how it sounds, go ahead and put your money down. If, on the other hand, you're looking for a Good master of the "Boogie" album, you ain't gonna get it here. I'm sorry to burst the bubble of any of you who were, as was I, eager to get that album on cd sounding as it deserves to--but that's what this forum is about, and I wanted you to beware of what you'd be in for. Hopefully, prayerfully, someone else will get it right someday soon.

4 out of 5 stars Rockin' the Blues.......2003-07-25

I purchased both these albums when they came out in the late 60's. I was in high school at the time in northern Minnesota. That's ranger country to those familiar with the territory and a long way from L.A. The first canned heat album is pretty much Canned Heats version of traditional blues. I was a little disappointed with this LP, but there are some good tunes here, Rollin and Tumblin and Dust my Broom are my favorites among others. Canned heat blew me away with their next release. "Boogie with Canned Heat" is a very good blues rock LP, (5 stars). The Fried Hockey Boogie was my favorite song for years and I still love it today. Evil Woman, On The Road Again and Amphetamine Annie are all top shelf songs. This album disappeared for many years. I seached for years to find a cd in the late 80's when most LP's were released as cd's. I finally found an import version in 1999.
