Justman’s piano lines have more life and sparkle. Bladd hits the snare and hi-hat on the beat, and the MoFi lets you distinguish between the two sounds. When I switched to the MoFi, I noticed that Danny Klein’s bass had even better definition and attack than on the early LP, and Bladd’s kick drum had greater focus and more thump. I compared these editions by listening to the first track, Justman-Wolf’s “I Don’t Need You No More” - the CD sounds somewhat crisper at the top end, but lacks the LP’s bottom-end force on the bass and kick drum. I also have the 1990 CD reissue, which doesn’t include a remastering credit, but after a little research I’m reasonably certain that George Marino did the job. The dead wax on my early pressing of The Morning After informs me that George Piros mastered it. Wolf and Justman wrote five of the album’s ten songs Gram Parsons covered one of them, “Cry One More Time,” on his first solo album. Geils Band (1970), and the single from the album, a cover of the Valentinos’ “Looking for a Love,” reached no.39 on Billboard’s Pop Singles chart. The album built on and reaffirmed the strengths of The J. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab has reissued the JGB’s second album, The Morning After, originally released in 1971, remastered by Krieg Wunderlich in analog from the original master tapes, and pressed by RTI on 180gm vinyl. Magic Dick provided energy and virtuosity, and Wolf was a natural blues and rock’n’roll singer who was a dynamo onstage.
The rhythm section was solidly in the pocket, and Geils played with precision, feeling, and no wasted notes. There was nothing fancy or flashy about the J. Guitarist John Geils founded the group in 1968 with singer Peter Wolf, blues harpist Richard Salwitz aka Magic Dick, keyboardist Seth Justman, bassist Danny Klein, and drummer Steve Bladd. I saw them four times in the ’70s, and only Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band could match them for stage presence and intensity. Geils Band had a firm foundation in blues, soul, and R&B, and few bands then touring were tighter or more dynamic onstage. Atlantic/Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab MFSL 1-415įor a while in the 1970s, it seemed that one American band might be a match for the Rolling Stones.
