I was just listening to Sophie, and I was thinking that this guitar record was probably one of the best ever made, if not the best.  But, what made it so great was the musicians on the album.  And the mixing and mastering, and I don't know who did either, but I could guess. 
What I concentrated on was the bass and how it was treated.  My question to anyone who has the experience is, what, if any, dynamics plug-ins can help to produce a bass like that?  There And Back features the same awesome bass sound...maybe even better.  Just thought I'd ask,  for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.

Produced by George Martin, mixed by Geoff Emerick - can't go wrong really  

Thanks, friend.  Wow...

Wired.....
 
is a very special album.
 
i was into jeff beck dating back to the 'beck bogart and appice' album, and had gone backwards after i heard that great first album, and listened to everything he had ever done before it.
 
 
i've been a really big Beck fan ever since, and a lot of my early guitar style is attributed to a big beck influence.
 
 
Wired was special because of the way it crossed the isle, between jazz and rock.
up to that time, there had been jazz rock albums, 
but not many rock jazz albums.
 
LOL
that's the only way i can think to put it.
makes me want to go listen to it, right now.
 

blow by blow, is still my favorite, even over Wired.
 
 

Agreed.

Plus a soft spot for the Live album with Jan Hammer.

Jeff Beck remains the greatest guitarist living or passed; period.
I've been a fan since his Yardbirds days.
Listen to the compilations "Crossroads" and "Beckology";
Beck was/is always "light years" ahead of the curve.
Sorry to wander off topic, but this is "downstairs"; right?

Greatests are always subjective. I don't want to get into a competition here, especially since I'm not disagreeing with you.
 
So, for Beck...recognized greatest.
 
Unrecognized greatest?

The guy was a genius with a guitar.

I can't listen to Diamond Dust without crying.
