Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
The performances and songs have substance, but the repeated track and stylistically detached closing covers make this anthology’s sequence feel assembled rather than shaped.
What we noticed
- The opening stretch alternates instrumentals like “Soul Dressing” and “Outrage” with vocal blues numbers, then settles into a run of songs led by Peter Green-era material.
- “World in Harmony” appears twice, at tracks 18 and 24; the closing “Great Balls of Fire” and “Twist and Shout” break from the blues-focused sequence.

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
