Ruis Rockfestival Beat Club & BBC 1971 & 1972 is a Mid Valley budget release featuring the three best sounding documents of the second incarnation of the Jeff Beck Group. This project featured Clive Chaman (bass), Max Middleton (keyboards), Cozy Powell (drums) and Bob Tench on vocals and stood in contrast to the first group. The fun and loose feeling provided by Rod Stewart and Ron Wood was replaced by a tight, professional and diverse group with very interesting material.
This group lasted just about a year and a half and produced only two albums, Rough And Ready and Jeff Beck Group before being disbanded.
Mid Valley present three excellent sounding professionally recorded documents dating from just before the release of Rough And Ready to the BBC appearance a few weeks before the end. All of these tapes have been released before including Going Down To The BBC (Refine Masters) released last year. While the Refine Masters is a great release, Mid Valley is more complete.
It is presented in a fatboy jewel case with EV’s super cheap, stupid and totally unhelpful garbage packaging. The front and back are generic TMoQ artwork with only an insert to describe the contents. I guess they want to bring back the days of vinyl when the LPs were stored in plain white sleeves with only an insert in the plastic, but even at the low price this is offered merits more effort.
The new Jeff Beck Group finished recording Rough And Readyin July, 1971. One of their first live appearances was on August 22nd in the Ruis Rockfestival in Turku, Finland. Five songs from an excellent soundboard recording have been available and were pressed many years ago on Flying High Helsinki 1971 (EVSD 51), one of Empress Valley’s finest efforts. Three songs, “I Got To Have A Song,” I’ve Been Used” and “Situation” are found as filler on Going Down To The BBC (Refine Masters).
WGPSEC describes the intensity of the set, and it starts off with the first song “New Ways / Train Train” which races by. What is apparent in this recording is the key role played by pianist Max Middleton. Throughout the short recording Beck and Middleton playing off one another, like in the “Jody” where they play a call and response game before the short drum solo and the segue into “Ice Cream Cakes.”
