Blue Vertigo marks the first instance of guitarist Preston Reed's initiation of his percussive, two-hand tapping guitar style. The first song he composed in this style is "Slap Funk". It is also noteworthy that this recording includes the only cover version Reed had recorded - "I Got You (I Feel Good)" by soul singer James Brown - until his 2007 release Spirit included "All The Things You Are", written by Jerome Kern.[1]

Blue Vertigo is out of print.
