The Guess Who, The Best of the Guess Who

This is a rare, out of print Selection that can be considered hard to find now.

The Guess Who, Live At The Paramount

From their earliest days (when singer Burton Cummings hadn't yet joined) to their last hit, these 39 tracks take you from the Guess Who's British Invasion-era arrival to their psych-age smashes and on to their '70s boogie-rocking best! Their definitive American Woman joins the hits Shakin' All Over; These Eyes; Laughing; Undun; No Time; Hand Me Down World; Share the Land; Rain Dance; Sour Suite; Star Baby; Clap for the Wolfman; Dancin' Fool , and more.

Recorded in a two-week stint in June of 1971, So Long, Bannatyne was the Guess Who s first album following the departure of guitarist Randy Bachman, who left the band after 1970 s commercially successful Share the Land. Produced by Jack Richardson, the new album, with new guitarists Kurt Winter and Greg Leskiw on board, opened well with Rain Dance and the perceptive She Might Have Been a Nice Girl, but then fell into a kind of disjointed, dispirited, and rather exhausted-sounding mishmash of underdeveloped songs. The album was reissued in the digital era with the March 1971 single Albert Flasher b/w Broken included as bonus tracks, which lifted things considerably, allowing the sequence to end as strongly as it begins. In retrospect, So Long, Bannatyne wasn t a disaster, but it didn t move the band forward either, and it still seems, all these years later, like an underrealized release that s short on memorable songs. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the Canadian Rock band's penultimate 1975 album. Flavours introduced former James Gang guitarist Domenic Troiano to the band's lineup. Troiano and bandleader Burton Cummings formed a fruitful writing partnership, pushing The Guess Who forward in a slightly more progressive direction ("Diggin' Yourself," "Long Gone"), while simultaneously harkening back to the eclectic quartet sound of the Randy Bachman era ("Hoe Down Time," "Loves Me Like A Brother"). Flavours includes extensive liner notes and track-by-track overview by Ralph Chapman, featuring new interview commentary from the surviving band members. Iconoclassic.

Audio CD

Rockin , originally released in 1972, represented a back-to-basics album for The Guess Who. The twin-guitars of Kurt Winter and Greg Leskiw power one of the band s hardest rocking releases. Yet in true early 70s Guess Who fashion, Rockin features an all-inclusive definition of rock, from the heavy riffs of opening track and single Heartbroken Bopper, the 50s-styled boogies Get Your Ribbons On and Running Bear, the harmony-driven Smoke Big Factory, the socially conscious Guns, Guns, Guns, and the psychedelic multipart suite that closed the original album. A longtime cult-favorite among their fans, The Guess Who s Rockin has been augmented with two previously unreleased bonus tracks including Lost Sheep, a dry run for the Hi Rockers! medley that arguably betters its originally released counterpart.

Artificial Paradise, originally released in 1973, was The Guess Who's most band-oriented effort. New recruits Don McDougall (guitar, vocals) and Bill Wallace (bass, vocals) contribued strong original material, as did returning guitarist Kurt Winter. Bandleader Burton Cummings brought several gems to the table, including Orly, The Watcher, and one of his state of the band addresses: Those Show Biz Shoes. Although not a major commercial success upon release, Artificial Paradise has become a firm audience favorite and is the most requested title by fans of Iconoclassic's Guess Who reissue series. Never before individually released on CD, Artificial Paradise is also acclaimed for its unique sweepstakes style packaging, which is reproduced for this reissue.
