Album Description

John Jeremiah, Mitch Aliotta, Skip Haynes, Aliotta Haynes & Jeremiah is the 1970s Chicago trio with good vocal presentation! Is it just a coincidence that the initials L.S.D. have been used to denote this major St. Louis classic song? From Quicksilver Recordings.

This Is Real Music.......2006-11-22

They don't "warble" and you can actually hear the lyrics....First heard it on WBBM-FM during the short period of time they played non-teenie bopper music...Bought two phono discs as my then young son constantly played one...lol..Mine was in pristine conditon when cdr's came around...Guess what????..Only saw them live once but we still remember and talk about it...Had to go to a conference in Chicago a few months ago and on the way back to Wisconsin, went a few miles out of my way and took LSD all the way north...and I don't think you have to guess what was playing overly loud on the cd player....One of music's real hidden treasures....Spread the word..."Free The Music" (With thanks to WUSP..105.5 in Central Wis)...David

Jeremiah Was A Bull-Frog, Was A Good Friend Of Mine, Never Understood A Single Word He Said, But I Helped Him Drink His Wine.......2006-10-02

The song "Lake Shore Drive" and the band called, Aliotta, Haynes and Jeremiah is 60's-80's cultural Icon, that transcends the years into today. This band captured the essence of what it was like to be young and living in that era.

Today, the song "Lake Shore Drive" has not lost it's appeal with the young or the "Boomers." When you listen to the key-board player on this album, John Jeremiah, you are listening to a man playing the key-board with the fingers of an angel and the determination of the devil......"and there ain't no key board just like it, anywhere I've found, running south on Lake Shore Drive, heading on into town, just slipping on by on LSD, Friday night heaven bound." Yes!

Did the band "Three Dog Night" write the opening to "Joy To The World" about John Jeremiah?-----Yes! " ..Jeremiah was a bull-frog, was a good friend of mine, never understood a single word he said (southern Illinois accent) but I helped him drink his wine. Joy to the world---yes he is.

Peace

Most likely a bootleg.......2006-09-19

Having grown up near Chicago hearing this music, it was great to discover this on CD and I'm glad to have it. However the sound quality is enormously variable. Some tracks sound pretty good, including thankfully the title track, but others have definitely been recorded from a (very scratchy!) LP. That plus the minimal artwork and lack of a legit UPC bar code tell me that this has got to be a boot, unfortunately.

long time fan.......2006-03-17

I had two copies of this album on LP growing up. One that my big sister stole (later recovered), and the replacement, which came with a plain white cover; story was that the warehouse containing all the originals burned down. Was delighted to find it on CD these many years later. However, the song Long Time Gone from the original was dropped, which bummed me out. New add ons are OK, but not in the same league as Long Time Gone.

I really, REALLY like these guys, BUT ..........2005-03-30

As a Chicago native, the song "Lake Shore Drive" has a very, very special place in my heart, so I'm glad to have it in my collection at long last. It's difficult to put into words what magical summer memories the song evokes.

But ...

The sound quality is abysmal on at least one cut on this CD: "For Eddy" includes an intermittent hiss that sounds like it was recorded directly off an LP. I checked - you can't hear it on the song sample here at Amazon.

And the CD includes no liner notes of any kind. Surely *something* could have been written about this group's career.

For those reasons, and believe me, it pains me deeply to do so, I give this CD three stars.

Great Music Stands The Test of Time.......2004-08-21

Excellent compilation of this amazingly under-rated group. Even for those longtime fans who have LSD, Slippin' Away, and Songs, this album is a must have. Some of the songs are new recordings with completely different arrangements. 2000 Miles gets a complete makeover, but still rocks. For those who only know AH&J from the song LSD, you will not be disappointed with this album.

Like the preceding reviewer, I love Keeper of The Tolls. Unlike the preceding reviewer, I have listened to this album in its entirety many times and quickly learned that because there is no gap between Money Talks and Keeper, the cd directory considers them one song. Go back and listen to Money and you will find a pleasant surprise about 40% of the way through the track!

I Didn't Get what I paid For.......2004-06-27

No knocks on the music or the musicianship. I have always had a connection to Aliota Haynes & Jeremiah. Their song, "Lake Shore Drive" paints an aural picture of driving from the University of Illinois campus in Champaign-Urbana up through the "Gold Coast" on Chicago's Lake Shore Drive.

The song, "Keeper of the Tolls" from the album "Slippin' Away" not only paints a similar aural landscape of driving to O'Hare airport on Interstate 294, it also brings back fond memories of a long lost love whom I was dating when I bought the LP. Not only that, it's such a good tune, to boot! IT ISN'T ON THIS CD!!! At least, not the one I bought last year, even though the track listing says it's Track 14. I was so bummed, I contacted Quicksilver Music (who distributed the CD I bought), but to no avail. So BEWARE. Caveat Emptor must be their motto.

Anthem to Chi-Town!.......2003-09-02

Finally, finally, finally, this song is out on CD! I was afraid of breaking the 45 disc of this song I bought way back when it came out. It doesn't matter if you're a born-n-bred Chicagoan, an adoptee or a never-visited: this song will get you hopping! It takes you down Lake Shore Drive -- LSD to the natives - a sweeping boulevard that follows Lake Michigan for "32 miles along the way." This song rocks!

Listening to Memory Lane / Lake Shore Drive.......2001-06-27

It doesn't matter if you're hearing these songs for the first time, or remembering them from when they first came out. The sound (a simple light rock) works as good today as it did yesteryear. Most of this cd will be especially appealing to people born in Chicago, but living somewhere else now.
