Beck-Ola
''Beck-Ola'' is the first album by The Jeff Beck Group (the group was only credited on the second album led by Jeff Beck), released in 1969 in the United Kingdom on Columbia Records and in the United States on Epic Records. It peaked at #15 on the ''Billboard'' 200, and at #39 on the British album chart.〔(UK Chart Stats retrieved 04/02/11 )〕 The album’s title puns on the name of the Rock-Ola jukebox company.
== Background and content ==
After the release of their previous album ''Truth'', by the end of 1968 drummer Micky Waller was replaced by Tony Newman, as Jeff Beck wanted to take the music in a heavier direction and he viewed Waller as more of a finesse drummer in the style of Motown.〔Charles Shaar Murray. ''Beck-Ola'', 2006 reissue, Legacy Records 82876 77351 2, liner notes.〕 Pianist Nicky Hopkins, who had also played on ''Truth'', was asked to join the band full-time for their work in the studio.
Recording sessions for the album took place over six days in April 1969 - the 3rd, 6th, 8th, 10th, 11th and 19th.〔Murray, ''Beck-Ola'' reissue liner notes.〕 Two covers of Elvis Presley tunes were chosen, "All Shook Up" and "Jailhouse Rock", as well as an instrumental by and prominently featuring Hopkins. The remaining four tracks consist of band originals, with the instrumental "Rice Pudding" ending the album with a hard edit mid-song. The cover features a reproduction of Belgian surrealist artist René Magritte's ''The Listening Room''. On the back cover to the original vinyl issue, beside "Beck-Ola" is written the tag "Cosa Nostra", Italian for "Our Thing".
Following the sessions for this album, the Jeff Beck Group toured the United States. They were scheduled to play Woodstock and are listed on posters promoting the festival, but by then internal friction had reached the breaking point and both Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart were out of the band.〔John Gray. ''Rod Stewart: The Visual Documentary.'' London: Omnibus Press, 1992, ISBN 0-7119-2906-8, p. 22.〕 Stewart and Wood would join the Faces in 1969, while Hopkins played Woodstock with Jefferson Airplane, joined Quicksilver Messenger Service, and would tour with The Rolling Stones in 1971, 1972 and 1973. Beck himself would be out of commission by December due to an automobile accident.
