In 1971 One Way Or Another was released and I remember wearing out the groves listening to Long Tall Sally and Rock Out What Ever You Feel Like ....both amazing and still hold up well in 2005.I will tell you that the guitar skills of Jim McCarty are to be listened to and enjoyed as they are screaming hard rock tones thru a Les Paul and a Marshall that will amaze and inspire!Rusty Day a great out front guy singing and playing his harp along with the thundering bass of Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice's double bass druming supreme. The last album's songs which are included here are represented by Restrictions which featured the title song which is fantastic as well as Guiltless Glider another great rocker. When McCarty left so did I so I wont comment on the last few songs that are from the final lp Ot 'N' Sweaty....but if you like intense hard rock done like nobody else...get this 2 cd set and the live set as well. I must listen to Cactus at least once a week or I feel deprived ! Get this set and know what rock really is !!!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best Rock Band period! *by B***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 28, 2005* Where do I start? Well, let me start by saying you need to listen over and over to catch all the talent on display in this band! I first heard Cactus when I was 16 in 1971. Now at the age of 50 I can appreciate the enormous talent of all four of these guys. Carmine and Tim the great rhythm section each on their own have talent unequalled, but together you guys blow all other combos away! Jim McCarty your riveting style and creative leads played into Tim and Carmines' rhythm changes perfectly. Jim on this collection was the best Rock lead, and rhythm guitarist around not only were his lead solos incredible but his hard driving style complimented every aspect of this bands in your face style. I hope your still playing this style Jim, I would love to hear Live! Rusty Day no one, no not even Plant let out the soul the way he did. Rusty's harp playing was blues yet he had a hard rock edge unlike anything I have ever heard.I now can not get enough of this band, I hope there is more studio tapes being released. If you like Blues based, Boogie based Rock n Roll you will not be sorry!This band was the real deal for sure. All those Bands that heard Cactus and took pieces from them should thank this band for showing how to expose their soul in Rock n Roll!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything was OK, excellent seller! *by M***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 21, 2019* Fantastic those studio sessions. I have got the other ones Cactus series too! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1957128-barely-contained-the-studio-sessions](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1957128-barely-contained-the-studio-sessions) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
