Artist: JEFF BECK
Album: BECK OLA REMASTERED (CD)

Year: 1969/ 2006
Media type: CD

Beck-Ola (Cosa Nostra) was the second full-length LP by Jeff Beck and his backing group, released in 1969. It was released in the U.S. on Epic and in the U.K. on EMI/Columbia.

Beck-Ola is also released on CD by Sony in the US in 2006 and the original release date of the CD was 2004 in the UK by EMI. All the songs are remastered and there are added 4 bonus tracks.

1969's BECK-OLA would prove to be the last Jeff Beck album featuring the vocal talents of Rod Stewart and future Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood (although Wood plays bass here). An all-time '60s heavy rock classic, BECK-OLA proves that this Beck lineup could have ruled the hard-rock roost had it remained together just a bit longer (the group split up right before a scheduled appearance at the Woodstock festival). Still, you can't go wrong with a pair of turbo-charged, radically reworked Elvis Presley covers ("All Shook Up" and "Jailhouse Rock") or the Led Zeppelin-worthy stomp of "Spanish Boots."
