CACTUS & VANILLA FUDGE (ABO#365)

CACTUS & VANILLA FUDGE

STICK IT TO YA!

(1966-2007)

I've never separated both Cactus and Vanilla Fudge history because for me theyr are both Camine Appice and Tim Bogert's bands. So I should have done a special Bogert-Appice BAISTOPHE as well. But since I've already included their collaboration with Jeff Beck on his own BAISTOPHE (see ABO#001), It would have implicate some doubloons. I then have dropped BBA as well as their album with Rick Derringer to focus on those two bands.

Of course, I had to include at least one song of the New Cactus Band (1973) even if the golden rhythm section does not play on it.

2CDs were a bit short to do them so I also had to drop some albums. Fortunately, those dropped albums are widely forgetable.

Why didn't I chose to do separate BAISTOPHES for those bands? simply because I felt that A Vanilla Fudge Baistophe on its own would be a bit indigest, so I decided to lighten it by fusing it with a Cactus BAISTOPHE.

This explains that.
