This double-disc set brings together the first two albums by California blues-rock outfit Pacific Gas & Electric. Led by soul belter Charlie Allen and former James Gang guitar wizard Glenn Beck, the band played a mix of R&B covers and originals, heavy on showmanship and west coast groove. Though PC&G 's music might not have been quite as interesting as the drama that surrounded them (which included born-again proselytizing and cult deprogramming), they were a solid unit capable of turning out heavy blues on par with the biggest names of the day.
