Music reviews of Blood Sweat & Tears - Greatest Hits

Music Review: Another Early CD With Minimal Tracks & Misleading Title
Rating: 4 Stars

Like many CDs that appeared on the market at the beginning of this format, this one simply covered an early 11-track vinyl LP with no additional tracks included. Others of that ilk, however (e.g., Sarah Vaughan, Donovan, and some of the Elvis Presley volumes) have since been re-released after being expanded to upwards of 20 tracks. This is a candidate for that kind of upgrade.

The pop-jazz group formed in 1967 by keyboardist Al Kooper, formerly with the Royal Teens and Blue Project, also included guitarist Steve Katz from The Blues Project, drummer Bobby Colomby, and Jim Fielder on bass. But by the time of their initial hit on Columbia, Kooper had been replaced by vocalist David Clayton-Thomas, and in the spring of 1969 You've Made Me So Very Happy surged to # 2 Billboard Pop Hot 100/# 18 Adult Contemporary (AC)/# 46 R&B, clearly grabbing the attention of audiences right across the spectrum. The flip was Blues - Part II. So, too, did the follow-up Spinning Wheel, which reached # 1 AC/# 2 Hot 100/# 45 R&B in the early summer b/w More And More. For trivia buffs, that melody at the end of Spinning Wheel is the 1815 Austrian tune O Du Lieber Augustin (Did You Ever See A Lassie).

They then closed out a very successful 1969 with a Laura Nyro-penned tune, And When I Die, which became their third straight # 2 Hot 100 and also a # 4 AC b/w Sometimes In Winter. Following a seven-month absence from the charts, they returned in August 1970 with Hi-De-Ho, a # 14 on both the AC and Hot 100 charts b/w The Battle, and in October had Lucretia Mac Evil reach # 29 Hot 100/# 39 AC b/w Lucretia's reprise.

After a nine-month drought, Go Down Gamblin' hit the # 32 Hot 100 spot in August 1971 b/w Valentine's Day. and in November, Lisa, Listen To Me topped out at # 33 AC/# 73 Hot 100 b/w Cowboys And Indians. With the novelty of their unique sound beginning to fade, Clayton-Thomas left the group in 1972, being replaced by Jerry Fisher, and that fall So Long Dixie just missed the Top 40, settling for a # 44 b/w Alone.

No singles charted from there, and throughout 1973 and up to June 1974 when, with Clayton-Thomas back in the fold, Tell Me That I'm Wrong stalled at # 83 b/w Rock Reprise. A year later Got To Get You Into My Life reached # 62 Hot 100 b/w Naked Man, and in late 1976 You're The One made it to # 6 AC but could only manage a # 106 "bubble under" on the Hot 100. The flip was Heavy Blue.

This skimpy (by today's standards) release badly needs an update to include those missing hits. In the meantime, it certainly gives you 8 of their greatest hits (tracks 5, 9 and 11 were not charters), and with the insert you get two pages of liner notes in the form of excerpts from publications such as Cash Box, the New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and Playboy.
