Beck, Bogert & Appice were a hard rock supergroup and power trio formed by guitarist Jeff Beck and evolving from The Jeff Beck Group. The line up included bassist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice who were both previously in Vanilla Fudge and Cactus. == History == Beck had been keen to work with Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice, further to encountering Bogert and Appice during 1967 and subsequent meetings and sessions such as those which took place between July 6 and 10, 1969. In early August 1969 Beck commented to Alan Smith from New Musical Express, On September 13, 1969 Melody Maker reported in their "''Raver''" column, that Beck had added Carmine Appice and Tim Bogert to his band. Beck and his manager Peter Grant arranged to finalise contracts with Bogert and Appice in November 1969. On November 12, 1969 Beck crashed his Hot rod car and all future plans were put on hold. Beck soon recovered from his accident and in early March 1971 he formed a new Jeff Beck Group.〔 The official demise of the second Jeff Beck Group was announced on July 24, 1972. The next day Jeff Beck met with keyboardist Max Middleton, Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice. He also brought in Kim Milford as vocalist. Rehearsals at the Rolling Stones rehearsal rooms Bermondsey began, in preparation for an imminent tour of US, originally arranged for The Jeff Beck Group. In an interview with Danny Holloway from New Musical Express on July 8, 1972, Beck stated, On August 1, 1972 the band appeared at the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh as ''Jeff Beck Group''. After only six appearances Milford was replaced by Bobby Tench, who was flown in from UK, after the ''Arie Crown Theatre'' Chicago performance and appeared with the band for the rest of the tour. The tour concluded at the Paramount North West Theatre in Washington, on August 19, 1972. After this US tour, Tench and Middelton left the band and Beck formed a power trio with Appice and Bogert. Drummer Appice also took on the role of vocalist with help from Bogert and Beck.〔 Still billed as ''Jeff Beck Group'' they were included on the bill for ''Rock at The Oval'' on September 16, which marked the start of a tour schedule of UK, the Netherlands and Germany . On Friday October 20, 1972 a US tour began at the Hollywood Sportatorium in Florida and concluded on November 11, 1972, at The Warehouse in New Orleans.

Recording sessions resumed on January 2, 1973 with producer Don Nix and the trio transferred to The Village in Los Angeles. Don Nix told John Tobler from the US magazine Zig Zag,〔Zig Zag May 12, 1973 Issue #35〕 "I don't know how I got the job, but I'd sure like to get out of it".

The album reached #12 in US and #28 in UK album charts and on May 10, 1973 James Isaacs, from Rolling Stone〔Rolling Stone Magazine May 10, 1973.
