ゲス・フーは、カナダ出身のバンドで、60年代に「ディーズ・アイズ」や「ラフィン」がアメリカでヒットしましたが、日本てはあまり知られておらず、このアルバムが大ヒットしてから知った方が多いかもしれません。タイトル曲は、リズムやメロディ(歌詞については言うまでもありません)が個性的ですが、名曲です。他の曲もポップで聴きやすく、何度も聴きたくなるアルバムです。

全米No.1ヒットの『アメリカン・ウーマン/ノー・シュガー・トゥナイト』収録アルバムなので、だいぶ前から探していました。
中古レコード店では状態の良くないものが多く、また良品は高値が付いていることもあり購入していませんでした。
なので今回、新品としてのアナログレコードの販売に感謝しております。
演奏の方は時代背景を反映しており、ヤードバーズ風であったり、バーズを連想する様なハーモニーが入ったり、またアコースティックな曲や、ブルース調の曲等々、多彩です。大変中身の濃いアルバムです!

一番最初に気に入ったロックナンバーです。かれこれ35年も前かな?
今聴いても少しも古びたサウンドではありません。
よかったです。

1970年1月リリース
確か彼らの3rdだと記憶している。このアルバムは思い入れがあります。当時中学1年生でようやくラジオの電リクヒット番組で洋楽を聞きだした頃、AmericanWomanやNo Timeを聴いてすっかり気に入って、お年玉の残りをつぎ込んで購入した初めての洋楽LPでした。Re-Masterされていて感激ですわ。Vocalのバートン・カミングスは今でも大好きな人。この声には痺れるねぇ。当時はCCRのジョン・フォガティと共に聞惚れていた声です。音楽もPopで親しめます。これと1972年の「Live at the Paramount」(これもRe-Masterされてます!)はFanなら必携ですね。
この後、本格的にHardRockにのめり込み、人生が大きく方向性を変えていくことになる。ここで止めておいたらどんな人生になっていたものか・・・つまんねぇ人間になってたかもね。私に洋楽への道を開けてくれた重要なAlbumとして忘れられない貴重盤。
最近、某CD shopでこのGuessWhoがTheWhoの欄に入っているのを見ることがありました。悲しいねぇ。ちゃんと分けてね。

The album you remember, and, the one you should have heard! In best fidelity!
2018年4月27日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Heh - there's a button right below my order that says, "buy it again"...Amazon, you have no idea...
Yeah, this is the smooth, "crank-it!" sound of an Iconoclassic remaster...plus several outtakes and demos I have not heard yet. Which is surprising since this was the very first rock album I ever bought, and know intimately; there's not a space, or a breath, or a pick scraping a guitar string I don't know as if being visitied by an old friend. And face it, if you're reading this, just how many times in your life have you heard "American Woman", "No Time" and "No Sugar Tonight", eh? You can't even think of this band without those hooks bubbling up in your head.
Perhaps you didn't know this, but when the "American Woman" single hit #1 in 1970, the band was just days from being ripped apart, its' most crucial original member getting replaced with two other guitarists, and the group shifting gears to start work on their next album from scratch.
The real story here is Disc 2, containing the work the band did next, which was scrapped when Randy Bachman quit/was fired. "Share The Land" was a great album, yeah, but you could consider that a whole different band. Producer/Manager Jack Richardson finished these recordings as best as he could, and released them in the mid-'70s as, "The Way They Were". Loved that album, "vinyl perfect" or no. It got a CD release in France a few years ago, with perhaps a little more spiffing-up. This disc is done with the band willing to place it in its' proper context. And Disc 2 does hold some stone classics: "Palmyra", "Silver Bird", "The Answer" and "Species Hawk" come to mind.
It was what I bought this release for, to hear some of my favorite Guess Who tracks finished for CD with the same quality that Iconoclassics lavished on all the other Guess Who releases they've done. That makes this the cherry on top of my collection of my favorite band.
I really don't know why RCA didn't treat the CD releases of this group better. From the lackluster efforts on "Canada Only" releases to the outright botch-remastering-jobs done for those 2-fers a decade ago, they really didn't have a handle on the love their audience had for this bunch (Vic Anisini's 2-CD compilation, and Randy's re-releasing of the original Canadian pre-RCA albums being exceptions). But now...I don't care; finally, it's all in good hands.

Breakthrough or Mish-Mash?
2013年3月17日にカナダでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I first heard the song American Woman in August of 1969 when The Guess Who played an evening concert at the teen exhibit at the Automotive Building on the Canadian National Exhibition grounds in Toronto. The soon-to-be single release No Time was featured, too, asthe band divided its time on stage between top 40 hits (These Eyes, Laughing, Undun), the new songs, and more obscure material, such as the blatantly Doors-like Friends of Mine, with its dark allusions and sombre tone. When Friends Fall Out was another unrecorded song that received an airing.
When the AMERICAN WOMAN album was released, I scooted up the street to a new record store that was having an opening day sale and plucked a copy from a shelf. Returning home, I dropped the needle on Side 1, only to hear Burton Cummings goofy intro to the title song. It just seemed stupid to me--especially the 'Give me an an "A" Give me an "M". . . part. When American Woman exploded out of the speakers soon after, I felt the power of the song in booming stereo, but wondered what the rest of the album might bring. I found parts of songs that were good, but thought that a lot of them were dodgy or incomplete. It didn't seem to me that The Guess Who was destined to be an 'albums group'.
After Randy Bachman left the band, Cummings and Co. went on to issue an astonishing series of original and stylically varied singles that put The Guess Who into the elite category of radio friendly, charting bands. For that accomplishment alone, they deserve a place in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their albums are another story, though, and the reissue of AMERICAN WOMAN offers an opportunity to re-assess this piece of work, complete with souped up sound and an extra track for the fans.
There are good photographs and an essay by Guess Who producer Jack Richardson in the booklet for the new version of AMERICAN WOMAN. Without a doubt, the most valuable element of the documentation is a detailed track-by-track commentary by Burton Cummings, written in 2000.
Among other things, Cummings clears up some ambiguity about the origin of American Woman. Most recollections of the story have the band playing at The Broom and Stone Curling Club in Scarborough in 1969. While the rest of the band was vamping on stage, waiting for Cummings to return from the parking lot outside, the famous riff for the song emerged. When Cummings joined Bachman, Kale and Peterson on stage, he improvised lyrics to the jam. And that might have been it, except for the fact that a young fan was making a souvenir of the performance on one of the portable cassette machines that were then coming onto the market. For years and years, the retelling of the story suggests that the fan might have met The Guess Who after the show and shared his primitive recording with the band. In his notes, however, Cummings makes it clear that the audio cassette from which the group had to, in essence, learn the song, had been "confiscated" from the fan. This revelation puts a different spin on the tale.
The rest of Cummings commentary is full of kudos for Bachman (nicknamed "Backy") and drummer Garry Peterson, but doesn't include any remarks about bassist Jim Kale. For some of the lesser numbers on AMERICAN WOMAN, Cummings provides brief analyses of song structure, tone, and lyrical content, revealing, among other things, who the 'Jocko' mentioned in New Mother Nature was.
AMERICAN WOMAN is a welcome reissue, and the care and attention that went into producing it are laudable. Was it a breakthrough album? Despite its high charting position, I would have to say, "I don't think so.". Was it just a mish-mash of hits and unfinished leftovers? That's not true, either.

Friday Music vinyl best in its class...so far
2013年3月30日にカナダでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This is a brief review of the Friday Music vinyl version released in 2012. It is difficult to distinguish vinyl from the more frequent cd reviews so this speaks specifically to this Friday Music vinyl version only.
This is a cherished album for me, always has been. As far as content goes, lots has been written already so I will briefly say that this was the magnificent last blast for The Guess Who with Randy Bachman in the band. Almost every track is essential listening (never much liked 'Talisman' but that is just my taste). The next album, 'Share The Land' was equally essential and unfortunately is not reissued as yet on audiophile quality vinyl (time of writing this is March 2013).
Audiophile vinyl reissues are a mixed bag and I have been both delighted and dismayed. This one is very good and is comparatively slightly better than the Cisco vinyl from several years ago. At least on my audio system that is true. If you already own the Cisco, the difference may not be worth it. Kevin Gray does excellent reissue work and was involved in both releases with different people joining him. Joe Reagoso is his colleague on this Friday Music reissue with pressing at RTI. They are an excellent pairing. On 'American Woman', the soundstage is slightly improved, more open and 3 dimensional to my ears with a little better range in the high end, slightly less restricted and nice clear bass. Again, not dramatic but enough that this will be my go to copy. Other ears may hear it differently of course.
I hope this is helpful. Friday Music does very good work in general and I have many of their releases. For some of the 'premium' reissue labels, an outstanding remixing job can be marred by poor pressing. Friday Music is one of the most consistent reissue products in my experience and I have never had to return one of their products to date. I have their version of 'Chicago V' which has literally one single 'stitching' flaw in the pressing, not enough to return it. That is the only one out of more than a dozen.
Short of having two copies of anything and doing a direct comparison, it is difficult to comment. As I own both and am playing them back to back ('shootout style'), I offer this review to help other Guess Who fans looking for the best vinyl experience they can get of this essential record. Now if only we could get 'Share The Land' reissued...

Reminds me of being a little kid.....
2010年2月8日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Having this (again) on CD makes me feel like a kid. My aunt used to give me one of those little AM radios run on nine volt batteries, with the little plastic strap. I used to ride around my neighborhood on my bicycle blasting that thing, hanging from the high rise handlebars. Some of my favorite songs were AMERICAN WOMAN, GREEN EYED LADY, HOLD YOUR HEAD UP, ROCK ON and BROTHER LOUIE. I think I have owned the American Woman album on 8-track, LP, first issue CD and now the remaster. It is certainly the pinnacle of Guess Who fame, but not necessarily song writing. NO SUGAR/NEW MOTHER NATURE and TALISMAN are still cool. But most of the other songs on the album are well composed and executed filler. The extra tracks on this CD originally saw the light of day on LP in the mid-1970's. They were songs from an album that was never finished because Bachman left the band. I the end, though, I still prefer WHEATFIELD SOUL, CANNED WHEAT, and SHARE THE LAND to this disk. Its a fun disk to own and a cool nostalgia trip, but everyone tires after hearing AMERICAN WOMAN one more time. Buy it if you need the nostalgia trip. Or wait for your local, CLEAR CHANNEL owned, classic rock station to play it for you. Buy SHARE THE LAND instead. The message is better and the "long song" on that album is more interesting. Cummings tips the hat well to Jim Morrison on that one.

Excellent Release!
2019年4月7日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
The Iconoclassic, 2-disc edition of "American Woman" is such a great release of a classic 70's album from one of my favorite bands. It includes extra tracks of unreleased takes and unreleased songs. It also includes a 2nd disc of an album featuring the final tracks recorded by The Guess Who with Randy Bachman. The sound is excellent, very clean! But maybe my favorite thing about this release is that the accompanying booklet shows thoughts and memories for every track by members of the band and their producer Jack Richardson. Iconoclassic has hit this one out of the park! I'll be looking for more releases from this label. You want this album!
