Por una vez, no podemos quejarnos de la dinámica. A diferencia de la tendencia actual a comprimir el rango dinámico en los CD, tanto los 5 que remasterizó Sony, como los que remasterizó Universal mantienen un rango bueno. Supongo que se debe a la supervisión de hermano de Rory. En cuanto al artista poco hay que decir que ya no se haya dicho: auténtico, genial, dinamita pura,....Esta grabación es más roquera y tiene algo menos de blues, pero siempre hay gotas de todos los palos que tocaba. Canciones buenas, ejecución brillante siendo sólo un trio. Sólo una pega que supongo que es más una cuestión personal. En esta grabación se utiliza un estéreo convencional. A mi personalme me gusta más la inmersión total, con juegos con los efectos sonoros como una guitarra pasando de un lado a otro.... Como se encuentra en varios de sus discos con Sony. Pero repito, esto es una apreciación personal que en nada empaña la calidad del disco. Prácticamente todo lo de Rory es bueno.

El único detalle es que la caja del disco venía rota del interior.

am constantly reminded how little recognition Rory Gallagher really got while he was alive. How he played his heart out and really got not nearly what was duly his. I am not one for Live Recordings but in his case I make an exception for it is only by listening to him live that Rory Gallagher comes out. I saw him here in the Early 70's. I was awe struck at what the man could do with the ease.There is one thing that I point out every time I run across it and that is the packaging. Again I have come across the Short sighted cost cutting measures of the record companies which market a great product in a PAPER JACKET. This is a true pet peeve of mine. It isn't a matter of being green because the entire inside is still plastic, NO they are simply cutting Cost by printing the jacket on paper instead of putting a true sleeve inside a plastic jacket as was the practise up until a few years ago. Now with these paper jackets the ink used to make up the artwork of the cover will simply wear away as other discs rub up against these cheaply made CD's. Musically however RG holds his own with the very greats Blues Men......Spigomars

Un inizio travolgente e mozzafiato, ed ecco partire con "Follow me" quello che, a mio avviso, è il miglior album in studio del leggendario Rory Gallagher. Facilmente mi si potrà obiettare che i gusti son gusti e che tale giudizio spetta magari a "Defender" o qualche altro album, ma la mia opinione è legata fondamentalmente al fatto che "Top Priority" del 1979 preserva anzitutto sonorità di fine anni settanta corpose e scattanti, una scelta di brani tra loro ben studiata e coerente, un'energia creativa che sprizza da ogni assolo e un chitarrista ispiratissimo ed emozionante, capace di regalarci brani memorabili come "Bad Penny" (il suo marchio di fabbrica!), "Philby", "Keychain", "Public Enemy No. 1" e soprattutto l'irresistibile rockblues "Off the handle". (Tra le bonus track, da segnalare l'interessante "Hell Cat".) Ciò che emerge in assoluto è un sound robusto e graffiante e il carisma travolgente di un grande artista. Per questo procurarsi e ascoltare quest'album è... "priorità assoluta"!

Gallagher's best album in my opinion. When it came out I was in high school and growing very disillusioned with the mid-to-late 70's music scene. The music I loved seemed all but dead. As one of his earlier records was titled, Gallagher went against the grain with "Photo-Finish" and then this record. He was one of the few die-hards still putting out true guitar-rock. Unlike most other artists at that time, he was getting closer to what I wanted to hear rather then further away from it.
