jimmy recca on the bass is sensational !

i am loving jimmy recca's bass playing on the new box set . it reminds me of ron on the bass for the raw power era. maybe he showed him a few things or vice a versa. i know ron played bass with the chosen few i think (pre stooges ). anyway i just am loving dead body who do you love track 4 on most cds in the new set ohh that twin lead attack

I'm glad somebody is getting to enjoy it. I really hope I get to tomorrow. I bet that I'm going to be the very last person on this forum to receive this thing.

Well, apart from those who haven't even ordered it yet, like me.

if your a fan and on this forum how can you not order it ? its ferocious

I agree, Jimmy Recca's bass playing is fantastic, now that I finally get to hear it. It reminds me of Ron too. That was a killer line up.

I agree totally.

I wonder if they were ever able to track him down for this release?

Yeah, Recca does a great job here. Even better than ... I won't even say it.

Recca seems to have gone AWOL. His son is on YouTube somewhere and claims not to have seen/heard from his dad in years.

these remarks have certainly pricked my curiosity about Recca though!

You won't be able to complete your comprehensive Stooges anthology without it.

It's funny, but I thought exactly the opposite. The only song you can really compare the two on is I Got A Right and Ron's playing on that swings a lot more than Recca. Make no mistake - Recca was a good bass player but I've always been of the opinion that Ron was one of the better bass players in R&R in the 70's.

well, I will make up my own mind when I hear it then. But one thing I know for sure is that I won't ever rate any other bassist above Dave Alexander!

Jimmy's playing is not as good as Ron's imho, but I know what dumdumboy is getting at - JR had a pretty aggressive, dynamic style, not totally unlike Ron's. He certainly played a great role in that particular line-up, and his playing is caught quite clearly on at least 2 of the discs in the box set.
