If anyone's been paying attention to this specific CD lately, have you noticed that it took Amazon until a week ago to post a picture of the product? Does anyone also notice that the product picture looks exactly like the old previous Columbia label release of the same CD? Well, guess what folks. When you think you are buying a "remastered" CD released in 2008, what you'll really be getting is the same old Columbia CD released in 1978: also know as Amazon's ASIN B0000025CK. This is no joke when Amazon sent me the same wrong item twice within two weeks of expecting a remastered 2008 release of the same CD. I took the matter up with customer service and they couldn't even provide a simple explanation of why they would send the same wrong item twice. Has this happened to anyone else? So, ladies and gentlemen, serious caveat emptor here--- check your item carefully. Because if the CD has the Columbia label released in 1978--- then you've been had. After my second incident of this with Amazon, I knew this was no mistake.
 What Happened to All The Guitar Heroes? March 26, 2008

I have this on reel to reel tape and transferred it to CD, so the sound quality is lousy. However, it's good enough to enjoy this band and doesn't have that loud midrange "radio friendly" garbage sound that most new bands are putting out.
I used to get a squirrely feeling about Mahogany Rush because people were practically worshipping Frank Marino and it just pushed my buttons the wrong way. I recorded this back in the early 70's but never really listened to it until now. I'd heard them once on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert once, but didn't have much time to get a real impression of their work.
There is no doubt Frank is the star. There are some decent bass and drum playing in there, but unfortunately for those two guys, they are completely overshadowed by Frank and his guitar.
Where are all the guitar heroes now? Frank can play the hell out of his instrument, and he doesn't rely on finger tapping. I prefer this style of jamming way over anything Van Halen ever did, and the music is a lot more to my tastes.
The original Mahogany Rush songs are unfamiliar to me and were a real treat to get into. They are also not afraid to do some covers including Johnny B. Goode and Purple Haze. I remember that rumor about Marino where he took an overdose of acid and dreamed about Hendrix and when he came out of it, he played just like him. Besides the fact that the rumor is probably untrue, I don't see that at all. He plays like Frank Marino playing Jimi Hendrix. He's unique and not a clone! Besides, he plays a Gibson SG where Hendrix used a Fender Strat, so the sound is totally different.
This album has all that I miss about 70's music. Some would call it "self-indulgent" jamming, but that's the whole point! When I go to a concert, I want to see the guitar player do his thing. If you want to get the essence of what 70's rock was about, this is a good starting point. Highly recommended.
An Unheralded And Under Appreciated Guitar Classic August 1, 2007

From start to finish this is non stop guitar heroics. The solo on "Purple Haze" is unbelievable as is the rest of the album. Every solo is a gem. In an era when most live albums were sloppy, raw this sounds well rehearsed, never a bad note, perfect from start to finish. Definitely a must have for guitar players but Disco Stu and Curt Grunge probably won't enjoy it.

A Ton of Electricity October 11, 2006

I was explaining the significance of this album to my wife on the drive home from a nice evening out. One of the things I said was, "While I was listening to _this_, everyone else in high school was listening to the Bee Gees, The Little River Band and Linda Ronstadt. THIS was the stuff that should have sold millions of copies." All of the Hendrix comparisons, all of the nonsense about Frank being visited by the spirit of Jimi Hendrix in a dream, all the urban myths ... SHELVE THEM! Listen to this album and be mindful that there were three guys onstage playing for all they were worth live. Frank comes to play on this album, whether he's covering Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, or Jimi, or blistering the paint off the walls with his own "Electric Reflections of War." Frank is unpretentious, passionate, and genuine. You get a dose of *this* stuff and you indeed wonder why he wasn't a household name in the mid-Seventies. Music that feeds your guitar junked-out soul! It's a feast! I remember seeing an ad for this album in Circus magazine when it was first released. "Frank Marino's ten fingers and a TON of electricity." Apt words. There's some heavy music on here.
