After leaving the Yardbirds as lead guitarist in 1967, Jeff Beck
formed The Jeff Beck Group featuring Rod Stewart on vocals and Ron
Wood on bass, releasing two albums 'Truth' in 1968 and 'Beck-Ola'
in 1969. This long-awaited 24-bit digitally remastered version of
'Truth' is released with 8 bonus tracks. This album was Rod
Stewart's first-ever album-length lead vocal showcase as an artist,
and is regarded, along with 'Beck-Ola' as a musical touchstone for
hard rockers in the years that followed. Collaborators on this
album (and bonus tracks) include Keith Moon, Jimmy Page, John Paul
Jones, Nicky Hopkins, Aynsley Dunbar and Madeline Bell. Jeff Beck's
three singles 'Tallyman' , 'Love Is Blue' and 'Hi Ho Silver Lining'
(First Stereo Mix) have been added as bonus track along with 'I've
Been Drinking' (New Stereo Mix), 'You Shook Me' (Take One Mix),
'Rock My Plimsoul' (Stereo Mix), 'Beck's Bolero' (Mono Single
Version With Backwards Guitar), 'Blues Deluxe' (Take 1 Mix) plus
the gorgeous ballad 'I've Been Drinking' (B-side on 'Love Is Blue')
which was omitted from the original album. The liner notes have
been upgraded by Charles Shaar Murray and feature an extensive
interview with Jeff Beck. All tracks produced by Mickie Most.
