Cactus - Cactus

180-gram vinyl

Contains the track "Let Me Swim" which later loosely inspired the guitar solo for Van Halen's "Eruption"

Limited edition of 1,000 numbered copies on translucent red vinyl

The original plan for Cactus was to release a debut album with the super group line-up of Vanilla Fudge rhythm section bassist Tim Bogart and drummer Carmine Appice together with guitarist Jeff Beck and singer Rod Stewart, though Beck's car accident and Stewart joining Ron Wood in The Faces counteracted that.

Eventually joining Bogart and Appice were guitarist Jim McCarthy (Mitch Ryder's Detroit Wheels) and singer Rusty Day from Ted Nugent's Amboy Dukes for this self-titled album that is arguably the highlight in their catalog.

Cactus is available as a limited edition of 1,000 copies on translucent red colored vinyl.

Very Satisfied posted on 12/01/2023 5 Stars Reviewer: Jim The only negative is the red vinyl. Black is the best, clear is the worst. The only noise on here is from Bogart, Appice, Day & McCarty rocking it out. What beautiful noise it is. No longer have the original to compare with but this copy is great. Highs, mids & lows are all there. Clarity & Soundstage is great. Also bought their 2nd lp which is about to be cued up for play & review. Reviewed on Rega Planner 3 with power supply upgrade to Moon phono preamp to NAD receiver out to Dynaudio Excite X44 speakers.
