Chris Spedding – Ready Spedding Go (1984):  Chris Spedding is one of the premier session guitarists in England, and his work has appeared on dozens if not hundreds of records over the years.  My own introduction to Chris Spedding was a punk-influenced album called Hurt (1977) that my sister Julie gave me one Christmas; and I loved it so much that I bought another four or so Chris Spedding albums.  Ready Spedding Go is a retrospective album giving selected songs from his recording career; the album name is adapted from that of the music program Ready Steady Go! that ran on British television from 1963 to 1966.  Highlights on Ready Spedding Go include “Hurt by Love”, “Silver Bullet”, “Wild Wild Women”, and “Get Outa My Pagoda” from Hurt; Chris Spedding’s only major hit even in his home country, “Motorbikin’ ”; “The Crying Game”, later the name of a popular film The Crying Game (1992) that features this song; and “Guitar Jamboree”, a tour de force where Chris Spedding plays a few licks in the styles of numerous rock guitarists.
