Beck, Bogert and Appice

THE BECK, BOGERT and Appice album is completed and virtually upon us, and it leads us to two inescapable conclusions. The first is simple: man for man, there hasn't been a finer three-instrument band since the Cream – and I'll even throw in the Zep and the Experience for good measure (mainly because Redding and Mitchell were no way as good as Bogert and Appice).
