Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Hindsight is a power much abused by those who seek to redress their viewpoint, to move it away from what could be seen as crass, as perhaps mean spirited, and certainly often fuelled by an agenda unbecoming that of the ordinary person.

The reflection of enforced observation, the kind that comes from putting distance between the object and the critic, is such that history always reveals more about one, and punishes the grandee of outspoken views in the same cosmic karma breathe. That history, even in fifty years, can be altered to show the truth of sentiment behind someone’s printed opinion, is thankfully available and one that is spellbindingly obvious as the timely extended box set release of Rory Gallagher’s second studio album, Deuce, as it turns a half century old.
