'Wheatfield Soul' was The Guess Who s U.S. debut album and launched the Canadian group to international stardom with the classic Top 10 hit 'These Eyes.' The classic lineup of The Guess Who (with Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman) display their eclectic mix of influences on 'Wheatfield Soul', numbering pop, garage rock, Doors style psychedelia, jazz, and folk. Iconoclassic Records 40th Anniversary Edition of 'Wheatfield Soul' has been digitally remastered from the original master tapes and features in-depth liner notes with new interviews from producer Jack Richardson and all of the band members. Additionally, three rare and sought after single sides (two making their worldwide CD debut) have been added as bonus tracks, making this the definitive edition of a landmark album

Wheatfield Soul---Prairie Pride
This fine reissue of the 1969 LP should further help define Burton Cummings as one of Rock's most underrated singers, and the Guess Who as an underrated pop group, not too far behind the Beatles and Stones.....That said: I have seen the Guess Who seven times in concert (1970--2001) and own over 15 of their RCA albums. Although I have always rated Wheatfield Soul as "middle of the pack," it has been growing legs with each passing year, it's charm growing with time (possibly because of Randy Bachman's return to the group, circa 2000).The deep liner notes are worth the price of admission, the foursome giving memories of the writing/recording process (oddly, the original LP has no photos, and the liner notes here have no photos, either). The sound is pure and natural, remastered by Vic Anesini.This album in the past has been described as a group casting about for a style--probably true. Here we have the 10 minute Jim Morrison freakout/tribute "Friends of Mine" alongside an Eleanor Rigby-lite "Maple Fudge" (possibly the album's only filler). By the way, I'll take Friends of Mine OVER the Doors' The End and When The Music's Over.All in all, a very, very nice reissue effort from Iconoclassic........we can only hope for the same treatment on "American Woman" and "Share The Land"--the two greatest Guess Who albums.

This album by the Canadian group "THE GUESS WHO" is one of the best albums ever recorded. Has always been one of my favorites as their other records they did. In my opinion, "THE GUESS WHO" Canada's answer to "THE BEATLES"

Don't buy if you are a collector
If you collect records, don't buy. Cover of record came creased. Not sure yet as to the record itself, as it is a Christmas present. Sad
