Jeff Beck discography 1968-2022 [FLAC / FLAC-HD]
Geoffrey Arnold "Jeff" Beck (24 June 1944 – 10 January 2023)) was an
English rock guitarist. One of three noted guitarists, with Eric
Clapton and Jimmy Page, to have played with The Yardbirds, Beck also formed The Jeff Beck Group and Beck, Bogert & Appice. He was ranked 14th in Rolling Stone's
list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time", and the magazine
has described him as "one of the most influential lead guitarists in
rock". MSNBC has called him a "guitarist's guitarist"
Much of
Beck's recorded output has been instrumental, with a focus on
innovative sound and his releases have spanned genres ranging from blues-rock,
heavy metal, jazz fusion and most recently, an additional blend of
guitar-rock and electronica. Beck has earned wide critical praise;
furthermore, he has received the Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental
Performance five times. Although he has had two hit albums (in 1975
and 1976) as a solo act, Beck has not established or maintained a broad
following or the sustained commercial success of many of his
collaborators and bandmates. Beck appears on albums by Mick Jagger, Kate
Bush, Roger Waters, Stevie Wonder, Les Paul, Zucchero, Cyndi Lauper,
Brian May and ZZ Top. He also made a cameo appearance in the movie Twins (1988).
He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice: as a member of The Yardbirds (1992) and as a solo artist (2009).

Cactus/The New Cactus Band discography [1970-1973/FLAC]
Cactus was initially conceived as early as late 1969 by the Vanilla Fudge rhythm section of bassist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice with guitarist Jeff Beck and singer Rod Stewart (also from the already dissolved Jeff Beck Group). However, Beck had an automobile accident and was out of the music scene for over a year and Stewart joined Ronnie Wood in Faces.
Early 1970 Appice and Bogert brought in blues guitarist Jim McCarty from Mitch Ryder's Detroit Wheels and The Buddy Miles Express, and singer Rusty Day (born Russell Edward Davidson) from Amboy Dukes.
This line-up managed three albums (Cactus, One Way...Or Another and Restrictions) before intraband troubles led to McCarty quitting at the end of 1971. Shortly afterwards Day was fired from the group. The fourth and last Cactus album ('Ot 'N' Sweaty) featured original rhythm section Bogert and Appice joined by Werner Fritzschings on guitar, Duane Hitchings on keyboards and Peter French (ex-Leaf Hound and Atomic Rooster) on vocals.
