You're not referring to "Hello Groceries " are you?I'm giving this a 7. Pure Music is really good (probably a 9 by itself), but the vocals (and really crappy lyrics) on the 1st album really drag this down for me.

I thought that would have been a great opener too.if the S/T were first, the disc would have opened with that crazy "quad demonstration" beginning to "Open Up Wide"!!
You just reminded me of a story I heard on radio last week about the Doors song Touch Me. Originally it was to be Hit Me.A few years back, there was a comedian on UK television, whose catch line was 'Chase me'
He should have listened to this music, as it is not chastened at all.
A pure, unequivocal, Norvellian 10
Chase is always a 10!
I wish Dutton would release Maynard Ferguson's Conquistador Quad. Maybe for a "two-fer" he could put Chase's Ennea on it also! Also a dream release would be Maynard's "Live at Jimmy's" mixed in surround! I could just imaging how great it would be to be sitting in the middle of the audience for that concert!!
Finally snagged a copy of this...I think I'm gonna have to go with a "10" as well. What a wild mix on both of these albums - love it!!
One question: Does anyone know why D-V put Pure Music as the first album on the disc? Personally, I prefer discs like this to follow chronology in terms of release dates. Also, if the S/T were first, the disc would have opened with that crazy "quad demonstration" beginning to "Open Up Wide"!! Based on some of the comments here, people seem to prefer Pure Music as an album, so maybe D-V wanted to lead with the stronger material, but I just love the absolutely bonkers mix of the s/t album and would have preferred it to be the opener for the disc. That said, I aint complaining here - I was just wondering about the reasons for switching them!
Was there ever an answer/reason for the album order being reversed?
The only song I knew prior to getting this disc was their big hit.
What great albums and no idea about their tragic end.
An enthusiastic 9 from me
Mr Dutton did the same thing on the Poco two-fer and perhaps some others.
I guess it's his prerogative to present what he's licensed as he sees fit.
An artistic choice as far as sequencing two albums that will play consecutively?
@steelydave ?
