 | Spectrum by Billy Cobham
Buy new: $13.96 / Used from: $5.96 The album that really put Tommy Bolin on the map! This is Tommy's best fusion work ever, why just listen to Quandrant 4, need I say more! Grade: A

 | Bang by The James Gang
Buy used from: $3.99 In 1973, Bolin joined the Gang, this is the first of a pair of releases. Most of the songs were actually written for Tommys band Energy,but they never got a record deal. This is great stuff! Grade: A

 | Miami by The James Gang
Buy new: $8.96 / Used from: $3.33 released in 1974, while not as stellar as Bang, that's because Tommy was getting bored being in the Gang. There was still some great moments, like Red Skies and Crusin down the Highway. Grade: B+

 | This Time Around: Live in Tokyo '75 by Deep Purple
Buy new: $19.98 / Used from: $10.11 A far superior release to the hideous Last Concert in Japan release, LCIJ had tarnished this era of Deep Purple and Tommy Bolin's name, this new version of that same concert does Tommy justice. A+
