Please post your thoughts and comments on this reissue of the classic album "Bloodshot" by the J. Geils Band.
This release is part of Rhino's ongoing Quadio series and the Blu-Ray Audio disc features the original 1970s Quadraphonic mix released commercially for the very first time!

This is another one of those unissued '70s quads, right? I'm gonna say it's a bit better than the Foghat one simply because there's more instruments to play with. I have this on CD so I'm familiar with the music - which is fine but I might prefer the Nightmares... And Other Tales LP. I'm all in if Rhino wants to do more J. Geils Band albums in quad. The two '70s live records are real good, and I'm also fond of the debut.

Very nice release. J. Geils band don't disappoint musically but I do find the fidelity is a bit lacking here. You get used to it pretty fast but I think Nightmares is an all around stronger album in fidelity and songwriting. That said I'm not disappointed at all, especially since this is the first release for an over 50 year old mix. The quad sound is great, lots of activity and very fun party type music. I'll vote a strong 8, overall satisfactory and recommended to any rock lovers.
