Product Description

CD Description
Like his contemporary Alexis Korner, Graham Bond is one of the unsung heroes of the early-'60s UK R&B scene. Both led groups that incubated talent which would later mature and eclipse their own groundbreaking efforts. With Bond it was his rhythm section, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce, who later became two-thirds of Cream. Both of the organist's albums included here offer an intriguing snapshot of this fertile period in Britain when jazz and blues coexisted quite happily.
Bond was a firm fan of Ray Charles, which extended to both hischoice of material ("What'd I Say?") and also his approach.A talented player himself (both organ and alto sax) as wellas a vocalist, Bond was generous in showcasing his sidemen ("Dick's Instrumental" for tenor player Dick Heckstall-Smith) and tended to pepper the staple Beat group repertoire withhis own compositions. "Camels and Elephants" is an early example of both Ginger Baker's composing and drum solo style. "Hoochie Coochie Man" replaces the malevolence of Muddy Waters's version with something altogether jazzier and as such is the perfect introduction to Bond.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Sound of '65" seminal British blues/jazz/rock recording, 5 Nov 2005
By M. Davies "mervthecab" (East England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The "Sound of '65" album by the Graham Bond Organisation never even bothered the LP charts of the time (neither did the follow-up "There's a Bond Between Us") but I think in some respects it was a little ahead of its time. The band is renowned for half its membership being Jack Bruce (Bass and Harmonica) and Ginger Baker (drums), both to unite with Eric Clapton the following year and create supergroup Cream. Dick Heckstall-Smith was a superb blues/jazz saxophonist and later was an integral part of Colosseum having passed through John Mayall's Bluebreakers. I assure you this album WILL grow on you whether or not you are an early British R & B fan. Graham Bond's voice is raw but it works within this fusion of rock/jazz/blues. Bruce sings on some tracks ( perhaps he should have been lead vocalist? ) and you get a taste of experimaental stuff that matures later in Cream. Baker's drumming is brilliant of course (just listen to track 6) and how about his own composition 'Camels and Elephants' on the second album, all sorts of influences can be found here. It all gel's, and although it never scored at the time, I can see why those in the business at the time rated this band. Some say its because there was no glamorous image or pretty boy up front, but that doesn't hold water when you think of the Jeff Beck Group, they had a pretty boy up front but were unlucky enough to have a manager more interested in bubble-gum pop .... perhaps bad management with no vision in both cases ?????
Alas Bond slid into very serious substance abuse, Ginger and Jack hated each other with Jack departing to John Mayall who I believe thought him too unorthodox blues (Mayall's guitarist at the time Eric Clapton was impressed however) and Jack then went to Manfred Mann. Ginger later approached Eric about forming a new band and Eric would if Jack was in, so Ginger had to visit Jack and the rest is history Cream-wise.
Graham Bond had other lines ups but drug abuse became worse and later led to suicide under a train.
BUY IT, its an experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two of the most sought-after records ever made!, 14 Nov 1999
By bobobob5 "bobobob5" (london england) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
These two records in their original vinyl format have been highly-valued collectors items since the late Sixties. Graham's importance as a key figure in the development of rock music is covered in the reference books. But there can be no substitiute for hearing his legendary Organisation for yourself! The stunning power of the band, compared to other groups of the time, is here in abundance for all to see. The material is mostly classic R&B, but the much gentler song 'Tammy' gives a fascinating glimpse of what else Graham might have achieved. The Organisation lacked a glamourous image, spent most of their time working in the clubs for too little money, and were unable to break into the charts with a hit single. Effectively reformed as 'Cream' in late '66 - with Eric Clapton replacing Graham Bond - the groundwork laid down in these albums went on to change the face of rock music. Whether this is music you listen to today for pleasure - as was originally intended when first recorded - or for more academic or collector reasons is debatable. But to truly understand the roots of modern rock, and see why the Organisation were so highly regarded at the time, this recording is a 'must have'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Organised quality, 28 Feb 2007
By D. J. H. Thorn "davethorn13" (Hull, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Proof that the single was still king in 1965 are The Graham Bond Orgaisation. A superior r&b outfit without a guitarist, they made the two fine albums included here at a time when the LP was considered as a bonus to keep the fan happy. What they didn't have was a hit. Boasting a sax player and organist with jazz credentials, their substance was in the way they played. But a look at the track listings shows that they were turning out covers of the same numbers as other r&b bands. Bolstered by Bond's hoarse vocals, their versions of uptempo material such as 'Neighbour Neighbour' are rootsy. Significantly, though, their instrumentals, particularly Bond's 'Spanish Blues' are among the highlights.
The presence of Ginger Baker is also a major plus. Though he gets to solo here, these were days when bands tended to keep track time to three minutes maximum. Baker's forays therefore keep you hungrier than the ones he made with his later bands. The GBO were not exactly blazing a trail then, but this CD offers a mouth-watering alternative to those that were.
