Beck, Bogert & Appice-Beck, Bogert & Appice









Info By Wiki:

Beck, Bogert & Appice was a hard rock power trio composed of guitarist Jeff Beck (The Yardbirds, Jeff Beck Group), bassist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice, both of Vanilla Fudge and Cactus. The three attempted a collaboration project in 1970 but Beck suffered a head injury in a car accident that year which sidelined him for well over a year. Bogert and Appice, who previously were members of Vanilla Fudge, instead formed the group Cactus with guitarist Jim McCarty and singer Rusty Day. After several Cactus releases, the band split and Bogert and Appice were again searching for a new band. Beck, after recovering from the head injury, formed a new Jeff Beck Group and released two more LPs before disbanding in 1972.

With all three members out of work they decided to revive the old idea of a collaboration and started work on their eponymous debut album Beck, Bogert & Appice. The album had solid sales in 1973 and had a hit single "Superstition", which was a cover of Stevie Wonder's composition of the same name. Wonder had originally intended to record "Superstition" with Beck, but the latter's automobile accident shelved the plan. Later that year the band released a concert album in Japan, Live in Japan, which was rereleased in 2005. The group began work on a second studio album, but Beck suddenly left the band in early 1974

Beck, Bogert & Appice is the eponymous debut album by the 70s rock and roll band Beck, Bogert & Appice.The album had solid sales in 1973 and produced a minor hit single with a cover of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition." This would be the last and only studio album by the band and soon after in 1974 during the recording of their second album, Beck would abruptly leave the band, forcing a sudden dissolution.
