Review by William Ruhlmann

"The performances featured on this compilation celebrate unique spirit and remarkable catalog in a symphonic context," writes annotator of an album "featuring , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and with ." The real force behind this tribute album is producer/engineer , who engineered original albums. Unlike other tribute albums, in which a group of cover songs are collected from established artists, In from the Storm features performances by one-time ensembles put together specially by , usually featuring . For the most part, attempts to copy the original arrangements and recordings, even to the point of recreating the swirling, phased echo effects on the songs from . The guitarists subjugate their own styles, trying to impersonate (even ), and so do the vocalists. The best tracks are the most imaginative ones, a purely orchestral version of "Little Wing" with playing the melody on harmonica and a non-orchestral funk version of "Purple Haze" played by some of the original members of with on vocals.

CONDITION: MINT 

**RECORD GRADING**: SEALED:Record is still sealed, never opened. MINT: Should appear to be perfect in every way. It should appear to have just left the manufacturer without any handling. no scuffs, scratches, stains, or anything else! NEAR MINT: Appears mint, but has one 1 or 2 inconsequential flaws that do not affect the play of the record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. An LP jacket should only have minor signs of wear-slight ring wear, minor denting to a corner, and writing on the cover and have no creases, folds, seam splits, or any other noticeable similar defect. VERY GOOD PLUS: Record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The cover can have some wear from storage, but it should not affect the beauty of the artwork. VERY GOOD: Many of the defects found in a Vg+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. A VG record looks like it will have some audible surface noises when played, but it will not overwhelm the music or the overall listening experience. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, ring wear, seam splits, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. GOOD:obvious scuffing and marking, but will play through with significant surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Cover has heavier writing, worn label, obvious splits on sight. POOR:basically unplayable, but may still have some collectible or nostalgic value, cover is heavily damaged.
