5.0 out of 5 stars
Discovered all over again, 1 Oct 2005
My Dad had this on vinyl LP when it was originally released. I liked it then (even thought I was 6 years of age).
Then I flirted with dance music and rap, and pop as I grew up.
Started getting back into PROPER music when I took up the guitar, and was starting to buy on cd all those decent rock-albums my dad had previously had on LP.
I bought this one in the early part of the year...its now October, and it has not been out of my car, and now I am quickly purchasing all I can of Rory Gallagher's back catalogue.
This is one of his rockier albums, and I for one do not believe there is a bad track on here, including many different styles, from straight forward rock, to his more bluesy stuff, and his great slide guitar sound is also on here.
It's only since I have been playing guitar that I realised what an absolutely fantastic guitarist Rory was, had his own sound completely, and I now think I would recognise his sound anywhere.
My particular favourite on here is the first track "shin-kicker", but only just...too many great ones to really say for sure.
The rest of his band are playing tight, and its one album that benefits from really playing loud.
Its a shame that Rory is no longer with us, and I really wish I just could have been that bit older to have seen him perform live.
I am just glad I have discovered him now.
I can thouroughly recommend this cd, sounding a lot fresher than its 27 years of age. Shame a lot of todays music doesnt sound this good even after a year!
After you have bought this cd...I am sure you will (like me) want to find out more about Rory's music.

Rory at it's best! Wonderful job of how simple rock can be., 1 May 2001
By A Customer
If you want to start listening to Rory Gallagher, go ahead and buy it, otherwise you'll miss a chance to know one of the great names in rhythm' blues in the world. Photo Finish is an example of how close rory was to the rock roots.

5.0 out of 5 stars
5 OUT OF 5, 19 Jan 2008
One of the greatest rory gallagher albums. Before I bought it I knew it would surely be 5 out of 5 and I now realize that it deserves more, as it stands out as an original album in rory's own style. The opener Shinkicker is great, and so are all the rest of the songs, including the two bonus songs which are every bit as good as the rest, except perhaps Overnight Bag, which is, in my opinion, the best song. One of the heavier albums, with the exceptions of overnight bag and the last bonus track. Must-buy.
