West, Bruce & Laing -Whatever Turns You On (1973)

West, Bruce and Laing - Whatever Turns You On (1973) Mp3 @vbr Whatever Turns You On is the second and last studio album by blues-rock power trio/supergroup West, Bruce and Laing. Every Cream and Mountain fan looked to West, Bruce & Laing with hopes that this combination would even exceed their erstwhile groups. It's a moot point whether it did, but this second of two studio albums produced by West, Bruce & Laing was greatly neglected, as they broke up virtually upon or even prior to its' release. The album features a black-and-white comic strip on its front and back covers depicting the alleged "turn-ons" of the band's members - Leslie West's is food, Jack Bruce's alcohol, and Corky Laing's sex - as pursued by various poltergeists representing each of the three. The album's front cover drawing shows the three band members, each pictured with their poltergeist alter-egos. Although not the hit that West, Bruce and Laing's debut album Why Dontcha was, Whatever Turns You On was a moderate success, reaching #87 on the Billboard U.S. album chart. Side one 1. "Backfire" (Bruce/Brown/West/Laing) - 2:57 2. "Token" - 5:18 3. "Sifting Sand" - 3:07 4. "November Song" - 5:55 Side two 1. "Rock 'n' Roll Machine" - 3:53 2. "Scotch Crotch" (Bruce/Brown/West/Laing) - 3:17 3. "Slow Blues" - 5:08 4. "Dirty Shoes" - 2:23 5. "Like a Plate" - 3:07 Personnel * Leslie West: guitar, vocals * Jack Bruce: bass, vocals * Corky Laing: drums, percussion

Thanks, artpepper. I saw these guys perform at the beautiful Fox Theater in St. Louis in the early seventies. A sort of 'Cream meets Mountain' experience. Jack Bruce was highly under-rated in his own right.
