5 out of 5 stars GREAT SONGS/ OVERLY EXPENSIVE.......2006-08-15

Great music. Too bad that because it is out of print, they stick you hard and deep in price.

5 out of 5 stars Skip the import.......2005-05-24

I haven't listened to the import, I assumed it was the same as the original, with the usual added tracks. But apparently it's missing songs. I can't imagine why someone decided to leave these songs off, but I liked the two songs that another reviewer says are missing, so I won't touch this ripoff. The original however, listed at the top, is one of the best albums in rock history. I'm not rich enough to pay the hugely inflated price, but I hope someone has the sense to release all the Cat Mother albums on CD at a more reasonable cost. These are some of the best albums you'll ever hear, five stars aren't enough. I've been told they're not to everyone's taste, but if you keep an open mind, I doubt you'll ever regret buying any and all Cat Mother albums. They are up there with the Beatles and the Doors in quality, though quite different in style(s). Someone please release these, I don't care if you remaster them or not. I'm still listening to the vinyl ones I bought years ago, and loving them.

5 out of 5 stars One of the Greatest Rock Albums of All Time.......2005-04-11

Absolutely astounding stuff. Hendrix knew what he was doing when he produced this group. Never get tired of hearing these songs and even though it's over 35 years since they were first recorded, they sound as vibrant and inspired as they were way back then. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars Among the best rock music there is.......2005-04-02

All four of Cat Mother's albums are on my list of the best rock music ever recorded (OK, it's a big list). This one isn't their best album, but I still listen to it a lot. I pretty much agree with the other reviewers, I can't wait for the other albums to come out on CD. I'm not sure where they get off charging $80.00, but if the price becomes reasonable, I'm buying them all. If you aren't familiar with them, you're missing out.

5 out of 5 stars Completely agree with Clark B........2003-02-18

We must have the other three albums on CD.
These guys were awesome.

3 out of 5 stars NOT the full original album.......2007-04-25

This import CD does NOT include all of the tracks from the original Polydor LP album. However the full original was reissued on CD in 1997 on the Polygram label, and while out of print, it's available from Amazon Marketplace sellers at a lower price than the one source listed above for this version.

The Polygram CD gets ***** from me, but this incomplete import version is to be avoided.

Cat Mother was one of the great rock jam dance bands of the late sixties and early seventies. I was a big fan of Cat Mother when they lived and worked out of the Mendocino Coast in northern California. Their live music was always better than their studio recordings. Everybody got up and danced when Cat Mother played! The Street Giveth was Cat Mother's first album, and it was recorded before they moved to California in late 1969. They made three more LP albums on Polydor during their California period, but unfortunately none of them have been reissued on CD.

I included several photos of the band in my book Mendocino In The Seventies, and they are included in the sample photos which you can easily find and view online with a google search on just the two words: Mendocino seventies.

3 out of 5 stars missing tracks.......2006-09-18

ive still got the original polydor vinyl. excellent condition. charlies waltz-written by charlie chin is not included on this cd. neither is "probably wont", "bramble bush", or "track in a". the waltz and probably wont are key omissions. Great album-produced by jimi hendrix. the lyrics to verse one of waltz are:
she stood in the street holding her hat in her hands, i think i understand why shes smilin at me, the whole world can see from the sandals that she wears to the flower in her hair, how shes leading me on with a smile just like dawn, with an eye like a diamond, a walk like a whisper. shes gone.
oh how i cried.........

4 out of 5 stars As the Smoke Twrills from my Head.......2006-08-29

On of my deepest regrets in life was that I sold off a huge portion of my 3000 LP collection - including a mint copy of Albion Doo-Wah! When in the name of G will this ever return on CD?

5 out of 5 stars Cat is great.......2006-03-07

Classic late 60's. I saw this album performed before a Hendrix's concert. They blew me away! Oh, Hendrix was great, but Cat Mother was overwhelming. Great album!!!

5 out of 5 stars Strike A Match And Light Another.......2006-01-15

We got to the show late,made it to our seats in the dark.The opening act was flooding the War Memorial with music I never heard before. A giant screen behind the stage boiled with lava lamp patterns.I was rushing so hard I couldn't move until they were done.After that Jimi, Mitch,and Noel came out and made that Spanish Castle Magic work on us.After the show I wondered "who are those guys" who opened the show. They were Cat Mother & The All Night Newsboys.May, 1969.I bought the album,and I'm looking at my CD of it right now.Not the travesty offered above, but the 11 track original release,every one is a gem.And I've been listening to "Albion Doo-wah" and "Cat Mother" on a CD I had made from a 30 year old cassette.I would not to hesitate to say that Cat Mother is the best band to come out of the 60's, or say that they are the best Rock & roll band ever.Just take tracks 4& 5- to go from an all out rocker like "How I Spent My Summer" to a rare gem like "Marie" is an indication of their unmatched talent and performance. If The Band had someone who could actually sing they still couldn't touch CM. I urge all you Cat fans to write Gordon Anderson at Collector's Choice Music,5225 Wilshire Blvd. Ste. 721 LA, CA 90036, and tell him to get CM out on CD for all of us lucky enough to know them and the poor deprived souls who don't.It is a shame and a sin that CM is in digital limbo.For the record, here's the tracks on "The Street Giveth...and the Street Taketh Away"-- 1-Good Old Rock 'N' Roll 2-Favors 3-Charlie's Waltz 4-How I Spent My Summer 5-Marie 6-Probably Won't 7-Can You Dance To It? 8-Bramble Bush 9-Bad News 10-Boston Burglar 11- Track In "A"{Nebraska Nights} And I think I'll get "Street" in my safe deposit box to keep Karen Lawrence {1994,Blue By Nature} company.If you don't know her, I wouldn't be telling any tales outa school to claim that she is {one of the}best {female} vocalists to rave on R'n'R and belt out the blues that is around today.Just ask RD, he really does know what's best!!
