It looks fantastic but sounds pale. Back then only two guys exploited what a Ric can do. Chris Squire and Roger Glover.
The irony being that Roger's trademark sound came about more by accident (pick, Ric & Marshall because there was nothing else to experiment with in the unheated Montreux hotel where DP recorded Machine Head and in an effort by Roger to finally get heard after neither the P Bass on In Rock nor the Mustang on Fireball had worked out) and he never even really liked it! He would have preferred a much cleaner and rounder sound, but just couldn't get it.
That Ric made a reappearance in the hands of Pete Agnew on Nazareth's Razamanaz, their first album with Roger in the producer's seat.
