Booger Bear was an album released by The Buddy Miles Express in 1973. It was released in both stereo and quadraphonic formats. It made the Billboard charts in 1974.
Background[edit]
The album received a positive review in the November, 23, 1973 issue of Billboard. The reviewer referred to it as a production of the first order with time and care being put into the selections. The songs 'Why' and 'United Nations Stomp', both composed by Miles were singled out as solid entries.[1] The album was also released in the Quadraphonic SQ Matrix. A review in the February, 24 issue Billboard for Quadrasonic albums mentioned the spectrum being opened up by the Columbia sound engineers. It also made the distinction between this album and most of the others that relied on the 'Front' stereo approach, with the music in Booger Bear actually surrounding the listener.[2]
The album was a Billboard, FM Action Pick for KAFM-FM and KNAC-FM in early December, 1973, [3] and a pick for WNEW-FM the flowing week.[4]
Spending three weeks on the Billboard 200 chart, the album peaked at #194 on January 26, 1974.[5]
In 2010, the album was released on CD on the Wounded Bird label.[6]
