Aerosmith:
Also, Joe Perry

Between a Rock and a Hard Place (Criteria Studios 82) - Aero Review: It simply rocks and flows from tune to tune with a great vibe. It's totally overlooked because it lacks Perry/Whitford but it's definitely a great listen. These are some rough outtakes that surfaced on a boot recording in the 80's. The absence of Tyler during the some of the period is reflected by the number of tracks which are instrumental versions. A few have Tyler ad-libbing vocals.

Gut Bucket Blues (instrumental) and Take It Or Leave It #13 eventually became Bolivian Ragamuffin.
A version of Riff and Roll turned up years later at The Power Station, NYC in Sept. 81. Jailbait, Cry Me A River and Lightning Strikes are also primitive versions of the final songs.
Tracks: 1. Take It Or Leave It #13, 2. Bitches Brew (alternate version), 3. Gut Bucket Blues, 4. Riff And Roll,
5. The Jig Is Up, 6. Jailbait, 7. Lightning Strikes, 8. Joanie's Butterfly, 9. Cry Me A River..

"Shake like a Rattle Snake" - One of the earliest "Get Your Wings" era boots featuring the band performing at the University of Maine on September 30, 1973. It's an audience recording but none the less, it's pretty good. "Son of Shit" and "Rattle Snake Shake" rarely played on stage ROCK! Up until the time (if ever) that "See Me, Hear Me" (Audience Masters) can redefine the overall sound, this is the best capture Aerosmith fans can hope for.
Tracks: 1. Write Me, 2. Unknown Blues, 3. Somebody, 4. Son of Shit (aka SOS Too Bad), 5. Dream On, 6. One Way Street, 7. Walkin' The Dog, 8. Pandora's Box, 9. Train Kept a Rollin', 10. Mama Kin, 11. Make It, 12. Rattlesnake Shake.

WBCN Radio Station Master (April 23, 1973) - A very early soundboard of Boston's own Aerosmith as recorded live at "Paul's Mall", a now defunct Jazz/Blues club in the heart of the city on Boylston Street. Columbia Records staged this event as a showcase for the group as heard in the beginning announcement. Tracks: 1. One way Street (song begins halfway thru)..2. Somebody..3. Write Me A Letter..4. I Ain't Got You..5. Mother Popcorn..6. Movin' Out..7. Walkin' The Dog..8. Train Kept A Rollin'..9. Mama Kin..

Allman Brothers: For More titles; see Audiophiles
Also, Derek Trucks, Government Mule

Fillmore East (February 1970) - Review: Not to be confused with At The Fillmore East (1971) this is a document of the February 1970 Fillmore shows when the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers Band joined forces for three nights of epic performances at the Fillmore East in New York City.

Aptly titled Fillmore East, February 1970, the disk opens with a scorching rendition of In Memory of Elizabeth Reed that simply grooves. Dickey and Duane are magnificent, as they play with reckless abandon, yet tightly in synch. The highlight of this album, however, is the nearly 31-minute Mountain Jam that drips with an colorfully electrified intensity. The Allman Brothers Band takes the Donovan-penned song and mutates it into its own magical panorama of sound. The dual guitars of Betts and Allman dodge and weave through Berry Oakley's bass line, leading the ensemble to the outer reaches of the tune and beyond as its traverses through a Miles Davis-style jam á la Bitches Brew. ”

With Or Without You (Idlewild South Outtakes) - A masterpiece of guitar sounds and Southern Hospitality. This epic title released by CTD is a delight. The impact of these songs has lasted for years and continues to thrill. Tracks 1-10 Idlewild South outtakes...Tracks 11-13 Pittsburgh, PA. January 17, 1971..Track 14 Duane home jam.

Tracks: 1) One More Ride, 2) Home Jam, 3) Little Martha, 4) Statesboro Blues, 5) In Memory of Elizabeth Reed 6) Midnight Rider,
7) Hoochie Coochie Man, 8) One More Ride, 9) Allman Jam, 10) Instrumental Jam, 11) Trouble No More 12) Don't Keep Me Wondering, 13) You Don't Love Me, 14) Terraplane Blues / Come on in my Kitchen / Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed.. WOW!

Derek Trucks
Live at The Center for the Arts (University at Buffalo, NY. 2004) (2CD) - A real showcase of talent. Derek Trucks
grew up in a rich musical heritage surrounded by the likes of the Allman Bros, Wet Willie and countless blues men of the day. It's pretty apparent from the first note you hear to the last chord strummed how diverse he became. Jazz, Blues, Gospel, and a little Rock all sound great when it's done right. Tracks: Disk 1: 01. Hey Driver...What City?, 02. Crow Jane, 03. I Wish I Knew, 04. Cheese Cake, 05. Going Down Slow, 06. Feel So Bad...Disk 2: 01. Sahib Teri Bandi, 02. Soul Serenade, 03. Lonely Avenger, 04. Kam-ma-lay, 05. Like Anyone Else, 06. For My Brother, 07. Joyful Noise, 08. Encore Break, 09. Encore: Freddie's Dead..

Government Mule
August 20th 1994 (H.O.R.D.E Tour) - Excellent audience recording of the masters performing at the Lakeside Amphitheater in Darien Center, NY. John Popper of "Blues Traveler" guest harps on One Way Out. Also, Duane Betts adds vocals to The Same Thing and The Screaming Cheetah Wheelies guest star on Southbound. Nice sound!

1,000th Show (4-16-04) The Warfield, San Francisco CA (4CD) - An incredible show featuring the brilliant Warren Haynes of the Allman Brothers Band and leader of his own spectacular band Gov't Mule. Fasten your seat belts and hang on to your guitar strap - this is a wild ride! Several guests appear to make this set that much more special. (Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Jeff Chementi, Bill Kreutzman and Mickey Hart) 37 tracks in all from a quality soundboard recording.

What Stage - (Bonnaroo Music Festival) Manchester, TN. June 12th, 2004 - Outstanding performance by the incomparable Gov't Mule. Led by Warren Haynes, this band of brothers rocks the sweetest blues/rock heard in quite some time. 12 tracks from a quality soundboard recording. Features; 1. Intro, 2. Blind Man In The Dark, 3. Bad Little Doggie 4. No Quarter, 5. Goin' Out West, 6. I'm A Ram, 7. Rocking Horse, 8. I Believe, 9. Thorazine Shuffle 10. When Doves Cry > Beautifully Broken > When Doves Cry > Beautifully Broken, 11. Keyboard intro > Soulshine 12. Young Man Blues > Good Morning Little School Girl > Young Man Blues. Excellent! (FLAC format only) Too Cool!

Apple Demos 1970-1972 - These 13 tracks represent the best and cleanest versions of the original "Straight Up" album. Comment from a fan: I've been searching out Badfinger boots for twenty years and I've heard them all but fellow collectors are encouraged to seek this beauty out. This one is the one you need! Amazing sound.

Bad Finger - The ultimate retrospective of Bad Finger. Very nice in-depth look at the highs and lows of Rocks most unlucky group. Many classic performances (The Ivey's and Bad Finger) and narration from Joey and Mike. Disk includes the earliest known footage of the original group. A real winner and one any Bad Finger fan will cherish!

Better Days (2CD) - Another in depth outtake title with plenty of Badfinger punch! Disk 1: Incredible outtakes, demos, rough mixes and unreleased gems from the albums Ass, Straight Up, Airwaves and GoodFinger sessions. Disk 2 is a mixture of BBC Radio tracks and 2 live concert songs; Day After Day and No Matter What. WOW!

Bus Tapes (1972 Jamming on Tour Buses) - This is a very unusual collection of songs as performed by Badfinger; caught on tape while traveling in their tour bus. The origination and publisher is unknown but what a legacy he or she left behind. You get the feel, as you listen to this disk that you are on the tour bus with the boys. The engine noise is intermixed in the performance but the songs are still distinguishable. This recording is NOT studio quality but HEY! We're on tour bus! A very unique behind the scenes audio journey!

Head First (Warner Bros & Apple Mixes) - Tracks 1-10: Apple Mix (late 1974, Rough Mix)
Tracks 11-20: Warner Bros. (Mid to early 1975, Multi Track) Tracks are presented in their original context and order. However, none of these recordings have bass present. Overall, a brilliant set. This was an appealing lp when released in the mid 70's. Soon after the albums debut, the band would be no more. Read their story...More>>

Kickin' Ass - Comment from a fan: This is a sensational release! Badfinger was better in the studio than live but this is still a fascinating look into the band's live sound, which is more aggressive than their studio work. Great soundboard with a tad of hiss. The bonus acetate tracks are simply gorgeous. A must for Badfinger fans.

Real Perfect (5CD) - The Ultimate Box Set of the legendary Badfinger!
Review: Look no more, this is it! Over 90 incredible tracks; The Ivey's demo recordings (1969), Newly Re-mastered Apple demos 1970-1972, The Alternate "Ass" D.A.T 1973 Masters, "Ass" demo recordings, Mike Gibbon's rough mixes for his Welsh recordings, "Ass" backing tracks, Live 1972 BBC tracks and 1979's "Midnight Special" performance. This box was released in Japan only (mid 90's) and is forever out of print. Though this set won't replace the various outtakes that are available - it's an essential title to get!

Take It All - 20 Track monster of various BadFinger and solo member demos. Just look at this impressive track list: Tracks 1-4 are the last Tom Evan's demos; tracks 5-7 Badfinger demos; tracks 8, 9 alternate Pete Ham versions; track 10 Tom Evan's demo; tracks 11-13 are Dodgers BBC songs; tracks 14-15 are some incredible Joey remakes; track 16 original acetate of Come And Get It; track 17 is a Goodfinger demo; tracks 18-19 Ivey's demos; track 20 is a Mike solo cut from 1995; tracks 21-22 are Pete's demos. Outstanding and well worth a listen. Come And Get It!!

The Complete Rarities (Vol. I & 2) (2CD) - Contains many early pre-BadFinger tracks. Examples are: See-Saw, Granpa, Think About The Good Times, Yesterday Ain't Coming Back, I'm In Love plus more. Also, from the Apple Acetate is the incredibly rare For My Sympathy! 2 disks of scarce material and unearthed goodies. In addition, several tracks released as singles by the "Dodgers" and "Natural Gas" are included.

Video Compilation - Nice and retrospective disk of videos and concert performances from early 70's to post Peter Ham. Many combined sources make this a real keeper disk. 12 Chapters including: Japanese Badfinger documentary, 1971, 1979 Midnight Special, American Bandstand performance, Airwaves promo, Merv Griffin Show, Minneapolis-MN showcase, "Natural Gas" performance.

The Band:
Complete Flower Hour (Washington DC) July 17, 1976 - This is a for DJs only radio disk from a concert The Band performed at the Carter Baron Amphitheatre, Washington, DC. The source is the soundboard tape recorded for the actual radio broadcast. There have been several LP and CD releases of this concert but we believe this radio show is the complete show in its entirety.

Tracks: from the original KBFH reels.
1. Don't Do It, 2. Shape I'm In, 3.It Makes No Difference, 4. The Weight, 5. King Harvest, 6. Twilight* 7. Ophelia, 8. Tears Of Rage, 9. Forbidden Fruit, 10. This Wheel's On Fire, 11. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, 12. Genetic Method, 13. Chest Fever, 14. Up On Cripple Creek, 15. W.S. Walcott Medicine Show.

Crossing The Great Divide (3CD) - Review:
Disk 1: What a Party, includes 24 Tracks. The first three, "What A Party", "Farther Up The Road", and "She's Nineteen" are all high quality Levon & The Hawks studio cuts. Levon on vocals. The first is a teen beat confection with a female chorus, but the next two are very bluesy R&B with a lot of Robbie guitar work. "You Don't Know Me" comes from a live Texas tape with Richard doing his Ray Charles; fair quality but great vocals. "Leave Me Alone" is a quasi-Bo Diddly thing with Levon and Richard having some fun, a single recorded as the Canadian Squires. "He Don't Love You" and "The Stones I Throw" were a Hawks single from 1965.

"Number One" is an instrumental recorded with Dylan, generally a groove waiting for lyrics with lots of Garth on organ. "Baby Let Me Follow You Down" is from the Guitars Kissing Dylan boot, the infamous Royal Albert Hall release.

The remaining 13 cuts are all Basement Tapes cuts; "Yazoo Street Scandal", "Orange Juice Blues" with and without vocals, two versions of "Beautiful Thing", and two versions of "You Say You Love Me." These all sound like the latest release of the Basement Tapes, very clean, in some cases startlingly so. In fact, When the quality is poor, other considerations make the choices obvious, as in Richard's vocals on "You Don't Know Me." The various early singles sound great, the best versions I've heard.

Disk 2: The Crackers "Time To Kill" - starts with three Basement Tapes tunes: "Katie's Been Gone", other versions of both "Ruben Remus" and "Yazoo Scandal". The next two are classics: the famous studio versions of "Get Up Jake" and "Don't Do It." Great quality.

Next are two Woodstock performances: "Don't Ya Tell Henry" and Richard on "Tears of Rage." Good quality, etc. "Highway 61" is with Dylan at Isle of Wight. The next 8 tracks are Rock of Ages outtakes. The disc ends with "I Shall Be Released". Some of the Dylan performances from one of the evenings have surfaced, and the quality is similiar to those. Somewhat rawer than the Rock of Ages album stuff. Most interesting is the version of "Smoke Signal", a rather overlooked cut from Cahoots that rips here. Also, a great version of "Rockin' Chair."

Disk 3: The Band "Share Your Love" - begins with two Rock of Ages outtakes: "Caledonia Mission" and "Loving You (Is Sweeter Than Ever)". Next is Richard doing "Share Your Love" from Roosevelt Stadium. Poor quality but Richard's voice haunts. Two Planet Waves outtakes: two instrumentals, one unnamed and "Crosswind Jamboree". Three cuts follow from the Madison Square Garden stop on the '74 Dylan tour: "King Harvest", "Rag Mama Rag" and "Wheel's on Fire." This was a heavily booted tour and the quality here is typical. The original Band material ends with "It Makes No Difference" and "Don't Do It" from the recent Last Waltz collection.

"Long Black Veil" from the '83 comeback and a 1988 "The Weight" with Dylan ends the live material. Four demos from Jericho end the disc. Despite my qualms, I recommend the collection to any Band fan. It ain't perfect, far from it, but the early stuff is enlightening, "Jake/Don't Do It" is crucial, and the Rock of Ages material is wonderful.

The Complete Last Waltz (4CD) - The Complete Last Waltz restores all of the omitted tracks and is sequenced exactly as the concert was performed. This 4 disk set is for those who aren't satisfied with a chopped version of The Band's last show. The recording is solid. It's a pre-remix soundboard, so even the released tracks have a slightly different flavor to them. A large dose of worthwhile unreleased material makes it well worth it to those with more than a passing appreciation for The Band. The complete soundboard was used for this Thanksgiving Day farewell show. San Francisco's Winterland. (Bill Glahn)

Jeff Beck:

Jeff's Two Festivals - Blistering performances of the Jeff Beck Group as they rock the house at both the Newport Jazz Festival and the Laurel Festival in Maryland 1969.

Review: Jeff's been a mainstay for decades, not with hit records but rather with brilliant innovative guitar work on hundreds of recordings. The band consists of legends in their own right; Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck, Ron Wood, Tony Newman..

>NEWPORT JAZZ FESTIVAL July 4, 1969..Tracks 1-8...>LAUREL FESTIVAL July 12, 1969..Tracks 9-12

1. Ain't Superstitious, 2. You Shook Me, 3. Around The Plynth, 4. Rice Pudding, 5. The Sun Is Shining, 6. Rock My Plimsoul, 7. The Shape Of Things, 8. Jeff's Boogie, 9. Rock My Plimsoul, 10. Hangmans Knee, 11. Blues De Luxe, 12. Jeff's Boogie..
"See Me, Hear Me" (Audience Masters) (2CD) - 1976 Jeff Beck and the Jan Hammer Group rock'in the great North East. An exciting new series by "See Me" has just been released featuring lost concerts of some of the greatest groups of all time. These recordings are so good, they rival soundboards! Impossible you say? You ain't heard noth'in yet.

Disk 1: 01 Oh Yeah?, 02 Sister Andrea (Mahavishnu Orchestra), 03 Country Eastern Music, 04 Darkness ~ Earth in search of a Sun (entrance of Beck), 05 Earth (Still Our Only Home), 06 Freeway Jam, 07 Scatterbrain (spliced), 08 Diamond Dust, 09 Full Moon Boogie, 10 You Know What I Mean..

Disk 2: 01 Blue Wind, 02 Train Kept A Rollin', 03 Led Boots..

Who is true? (1971) - The second incarnation of the Jeff Beck Group as they get down to business in this delightful 1970's soundboard. Jeff's on fire this night, and as expected the rest of the band is outstanding. Bob Tench's vocal styling's are spot on - Max Middleton's keyboards, Clive Chaman's Bass is thumping and last but not least Cozy Powell's drumming is rock made in heaven.
Tracks: 01) New Ways ~ Train Train, 02) I Got To Have A Song, 03) Ive Been Used, 04) Situation, 05) Jody ~ Ice Cream Cakes..

"Blow by Blow" - This is the way Jeff's masterpiece should have been released. "Master Sound" recordings employ state of the art technology to provide sonic accuracy and realism.

Black Crowes:
Can We Get Taller - Review: On the "Amorica" World Tour, The Black Crowes played some “secret gigs” under the name Chloroform. The shows were at a London club named Mean Fiddler and both were totally different. As is the standard with any Crowes concert, high energy packed with excellent songs soon ensued. Listen with both ears open and soon you'll be a fan in no time.

01 Conspiracy, 02 P.25 London, 03 Wiser Time, 04 She Talks To Angels, 05 Remedy, 06 Nonfiction, 07 Long Time Gone, 08 Jealous Again, 09 Thorn In My Pride, 10 Intro, 11 Black Moon Creeping, 12 Twice as Hard, 13 Thick n' Thin, 14 Stare it Cold..

Houston Calling (2CD) - Voted #1 show by Crowes fans world-wide! This title from Houston, Texas is the full-length show and is packed with dynamite. The band is spot on. Chris has to tame the crowd several times due to unruly behavior but as they say "The show must go on". Don't miss what could be the highlight of your day. Rock On!
Disk 1:
1. No Speak No Slave, 2. Sting Me, 3. Hard To Handle, 4. My Morning Song, 5. Jam, 6. Thorn In My Pride, 7. Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye, 8. Twice As Hard..

London's Secret Acoustic Gig + Los Angeles Electric show 1991 - Review: One of the highest energy shows I've witnessed in a long time. Not only do you have the fortune of seeing a great band knock out some great tunes but watching and hearing the Robinson Brothers gel like a smooth wine is quite a treat. If you have more titles, please let me know. I can't wait to re-play this again and again.

Black Sabbath: For more items; See DTS listings
1977 and 1978 British Biscuits (Pre-FM Master Reels) - These reel-to-reels are rumored to be sourced from a massive radio station vault located somewhere in Illinois. They were never intended to be released but somehow found their way out. Comment from a fan: I just picked these up last week from jfks and couldn't be happier! This is the best Sabbath material not currently in circulation. Keep up the good work.

Tracks:
Broadcast January 16, 1977: 1. Symptom of the Universe, 2. War Pigs, 3. Gypsy, 4. Children of the Grave..
Broadcast September 17, 1978: 5. Snow-blind, 6. Black Sabbath Introduction, 7. Black Sabbath, 8. Iron Man, 9. Paranoid..

British Rock Meeting at Rhein Halbinsel - Very short disk of Sabbath performing 4 tracks during a promo meeting with execs and fans alike during a out-door meeting in Speyer, Germany September 4, 1971. Somewhat raw and primitive but nonetheless, a rock'in affair.
Tracks: 1: Sweet Leaf, 2: Iron Man, 3: Children of the Grave, 4: Wicked World (Guitar Solo/Jam)

Live Archives 1970 - Fender bass, Orange Amps, Gibson Guitars and Vocals that keep pace with the driving rhythm and you have a heck of a concert starring Black Sabbath! Pro-shot videos and concert footage. Tracks: Black Sabbath, Blue Suede Shoes, Paranoid, Iron Man, (Back Stage) scene of Paranoid, Hand of Doom + more classics!

Paranoid World (The Fillmore Auditorium) - An early show by Sabbath as they introduce 'Paranoid', their latest album which was unreleased at the time. Ozzy's introduction of 'Black Sabbath' as the title track of their first album really brings the crowd to their feet. Overall, this 38 year audience recording is the best to be found of their historic Fillmore gig. Good stuff! 1 - Paranoid, 2 - N.I.B., 3 - War Pigs, 4 - Black Sabbath, 5 - Iron Man, 6 - Behind the Wall of Sleep, 7 - Hand of Doom-Rat Salad, 8 - Fairies Wear Boots, 9 - Wicked World.

Paris 1970 (Rock the Seventies) - This dvd rocks! Close and personal with the boys from Birmingham, UK.
Pro-shot footage of a energetic Sabbath while they tear up the stage in Paris, France. Unlike Arena concerts, this performance is in a townhall setting that gives fans the vibe of a personal one on one concert. Also, disk contains several "Never Say Never" performances. See Ozzy, Tony, Geezer and Bill give their all. Excellent Choice!

Sabbath's "Born Again" Unmixed Demos - An interesting and relevant rocker from half of the quartet that brought doom rock to the masses. Tony, Geezer along with Bev Bevan (ELO, The Move) and Ian Gillian (Deep Purple, Gillian) lay down some unforgettable numbers in the studio. They may be demos but for some (me included) that's where the best music's discovered! Tracks: Digital Bitch, Hot Line, Keep it Warm, Stonehenge, Fallen, Trashed, Zero the Hero, Born Again, Disturbing the Priest..

Sabbath ROCKS Worchester (April 11, 1983) - The best quality recording from the Born Again tour to recently surface. The band consists of Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Ian Gillian and Bev Bevan. A rockin concert that never misses a beat. Don't miss out, not many shows were captured from this era of Sabbath. Tracks: Children of the Grave, Hot Line, War Pigs. Iron Man, Zero the Hero, Heaven and Hell, Guitar solo, Digital Bitch, Black Sabbath, Paranoid and Smoke on the Water..
"See Me, Hear Me" (Audience Masters) (2CD) - 1975 Sabbath rock'in the great North East.
An exciting new series by "See Me" has just been released featuring lost concerts of some of the greatest groups of all time. These recordings are so good, they rival soundboards! Impossible you say? You ain't heard noth'in yet.

Disk 1: 01 Intro, 02 Killing Yourself To Live, 03 Hole In The Sky, 04 Snowblind, 05 Symptom Of The Universe, 06 War Pigs, 07 Megalomania..

Disk 2: 01 Sabra Cadabra, 02 Jam, 03 Sometimes I'm Happy, 04 Drums, 05 Supernaut, 06 Iron Man, 07 Jam, 08 Black Sabbath (spliced), 09 Spiral Architect, 10 Embryo/Children Of The Grave, 11 E: Paranoid..

Taylor County, Abilene Texas 1978 - Review: This is one of the handful of soundboard recordings from the 1970's of Sabbath in concert. Unfortunately, it's incomplete but it's definitely worth having namely for the excellent sound quality and because it was the last known live recording of Sabbath with Ozzy. Also, it includes the last known live recording of the rarely played "Shock Waves" (the only soundboard recording of this song).

Tracks: 01 - Symptom of the Universe [Cut In], 02 - Snowblind, 03 - War Pigs, 04 - Never Say Die, 05 - Black Sabbath, 06 - Shock Waves, 07 - Dirty Women, 08 - Rock'n'Roll Doctor..

Eric Clapton: For more items; See DTS, Audiophiles
Also, Blind Faith, Cream, Derek and the Dominoes,

1974 Criteria Recording Studio (2CD) - Review: No doubt, 461 Ocean Blvd was the album that Clapton needed to release to help find himself and begin living again. After falling prey to drugs and living in the fast lane for so many years it finally took its toll. I believe if this version of the lp was released instead of the commercial press - it would have been a bitter sweet victory. Clapton plays some amazing Dobro and blues licks that would make Robert Johnson smile with praise. If you want to hear all the incredible jams, demos and rehearsals that took place Before 461 was released - You've got to hear these!

Disk 1: 01. I Shot The Sheriff (very early), 02 Meet Me At The Bottom Jam 1, 03 Meet Me At The Bottom Jam 2, 04 Meet Me At The Bottom Jam 3, 05 Chocolate, 06 It's Hard To Find, 07 Ill See You Again, 08 Evil, 09 Snake Lake Blues..

Disk 2: 01 Jam, 02 Jam 2, 03 It's Never Too Late Rehearsals, 04 Friday Night Jam..

Complete Miami Rehearsals (4CD) - A 4 disk set of tracks recorded by Eric and band during the Summer of 1975 in Miami, Florida. Some songs would eventually make it on record for Eric's smash album "461 Ocean Blvd." This is a great insider's view of audio history with 1st takes of: Motherless Children, Why Does Love Got To Be So Bad, Bell Bottom Blues, Knockin on Heaven's Door, Eye Sight To The Blind and Teach Me To Be Your Woman. Over 50 tracks!

Fillmore Double Night - (Disk 1 only) Quality soundboard recording of Derek / Dominoes live at the Fillmore East, NY. Tracks are from the Early and Late shows (23, 24 Oct 1970) and contain some of Eric's best guitar work ever. Killer renditions of "Got To Get Better In A Little While", "Key To The Highway", "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad"?, "Presence Of The Lord", "Let It Rain" and many more! Over 21 songs.

Gems (Journeyman, Lethal Weapon 2 Sessions) - Alternate tracks, demos from sessions recorded at the Power Station New York City, 1989-1991. It was during this time that Eric found his way into soundtrack recordings. He's always been a mainstay for those who love rock and blues but during the late 80's, 90's Hollywood producers found him. The "Color of Money" starring Tom Cruise, Paul Newman finally legitimized him to the world. Tracks: 1) Pretending, 2) Running On Faith, 3) Don't Turn Your Back, 4) Forever, 5) Hard Times, 6) Lead Me On, 7) No Alibis,
8) Breaking Point (instrumental), 9) Something About You, 10) Murdoch's Men (instrumental), 11) Higher Power (instrumental),
12) Bad Love (additional overdubbed lead guitar - from Lexus Japan TV ads)

The Unsurpassed Clapton (The Delaney & Bonnie Mix of his First Album)(YD 022) - Polydor records may have released Eric's 1st lp after they put their stamp of approval on it but the original mix does exist. Comment from a fan: Man oh man, the tracks really jump on this release. Bonny and Delaney did a fantastic job. A real labour of love! I can see why Clapton placed his faith in them. If you need to jump start your Clapton collection, this disk is like listening to a completely new and fresh "Slowhand".

Blind Faith; For More titles; see Audiophiles
Hyde and Seek - One of the best sound-board / outtake studio recordings by the short lived mega-band Blind Faith. No one really knows why they disbanded so quickly. Rumor has it that Clapton wanted more than just a Jam Band. He wanted to make serious music that would last as a testament to the blues greats he idolized. Years later, his tribute to Robert Johnson would finally appear. Tracks 1, 6-12 recorded at Morgan Studios, London, February - June 1969. Tracks 2-5 recorded at Hyde Park, London on June 7, 1969. Tracks 13-14 recorded at Morgan Studios, London, October 1969.

Cream: For More titles; see Audiophiles

Live + BBC Sessions (2CD) - Review: Of all the groundbreaking artists/groups
that have come and gone since the magical 60's - the defining criteria of how great they were is measured by longevity and influence. Sure, musical tastes change but good is still good. Cream was and is still good. I was very fortunate to have found this set and promised to write a review of it once I had time to digest its content. Sound quality is excellent. The combination of "Disraeli Gears" performed live in various venues and the addition of the BBC material is just icing on the cake. Jack, Ginger and Eric are way ahead of the curve on this amazing set. I'm sure all Rock-N-Rollers will love it!

Final U.S. Tour (2CD) - On October 4, 1968 Cream began their final tour of the U.S. The tour began near the location of their very first American triumphs just a few years prior. Alameda County Coliseum Arena is disk 1 of this incredible 2 disk set. Disk 2 represents their final appearance in the U.S. at the San Diego, Sports Arena on October 20, 1968.

Disk 1: White Room, Politician, Crossroads, Sunshine of Your Love, Spoonful, Deserted Cities of the Heart, Passing the Time, I'm So Glad...Disk 2: White Room, Crossroads, Sunshine of Your Love, Train time, Toad, Spoonful..

Outtakes and Alternates (2CD) - More Info>

Silver Horses Running Moonbeams In Your Dark Eyes (Oakland, CA) - Comment from a fan: A true gem. It's hard to tell that this soundboard is almost 40 years old. It's amazing how clear every track is. It's not perfect but it's got to be one of Cream's best live performances. "Live Cream" was good but this is much much better. Tracks: 1) White Room, 2) Politician, 3) Crossroads, 4) Sunshine of Your Love, 5) Spoonful, 6) Deserted Cities of the Heart, 7) Toad, 8) I'm So Glad..

Sun Vanishes (Birth of The Six Strings God) (2CD) - Cream captured live at the Grande Ballroom - Detroit, Michigan during their 1st U.S. tour (1967). Comment from a fan: Fortunately for us, someone from the audience taped this show for posterity. Clapton's playing is top notch along with Ginger's and Jack's. The sound quality overall is a big thumbs up!

Tracks: Disk 1: 1. Tales Of Brave Ulysses, 2. N.S.U., 3. Sitting On Top Of The World, 4. Sweet Wine, 5. Rollin' And Tumblin', 6. Spoonful..Disc 2: 1. Stepping Out, 2. Train time, 3. Toad, 4. I'm So Glad..

The Alternative Album - Review: It seems unfair that a 3 piece band could be so full sounding but when you have the makings of a super group then it's no wonder. I really like this disk. It has clarity and some very interesting tunes. Check these out: 1. Lawdy Mama (rare studio version '67)...2. Rollin' And Tumblin' (take 1, "Fresh Cream" Outtake 1966)...3.

Derek and the Dominoes: For More titles; see Audiophiles
Aborted 2nd Album (Live And Demos) - Hot, Righteous and Delicious...Great set of tracks by Eric and the boys as they steamroll an impressive song-list from start to finish. It's a shame that these tracks have never been officially released but for those who have heard them - well, you know what their missing! Outstanding!

Layla and Other Assorted Unreleased Songs - All outtakes are different mixes from those officially released.
Many gems from the legendary Clapton during the 1970's. If you've never heard the non-commercial tracks of his Fillmore Concerts then you're in for a treat! This disk is a treasure for all guitar fans and notably from the genius of Eric Clapton.

Elvis Costello:
One of many "new wave" artists to emerge in the early 1980's and successfully pave his way to the present day. Elvis has survived musically based on his ever evolving songwriting skills and performing style. Not surprisingly, he is still making the rounds and enjoying the label of a true pioneer. Whether performing at a charity cause or penning tunes with former Beatles - Elvis will be with us for a long time to come. Enjoy these titles of Costello magic.

500,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong (2CD) -

Radio Sweethearts - Comments: 1977-1983 UK radio sessions. The rough quality and lack of completeness make this anthology of radio recordings not as good as it could be. Overall, this set does have some high-points;

Creedence Clearwater Revival: For more items; See DTS listings
Fillmore West (July 4th, 1971) (Pre-FM Master) - Incredible soundboard recording of CCR during the 5th and last night of the "Closing The Fillmore West" Week.

You gotta hear it to believe it. 17 tracks.

Paradise in Amsterdam - Fantastic early soundboard from a club show in Holland 1969. The first track is an early version of Speed King aptly titled Kneel and Pray. The band is tight and the music just grooves along without a hitch.

Road Fevered (Deluxe Fan Club release) (15CD) - Arguably the crown jewel in the Bolin archives. Long out of print and now available again with audio that has been re-mastered to be superior from the original Fan Club release. This collection is culled from live performances and long considered lost audio tracks that Tommy put together during the time he was just starting out in Iowa to Zephyr, Energy, his demo phase, The James Gang, Deep Purple and finally his short solo stint. I'm sure fans alike will praise this truly incredible box set. Mp3 Format

Dire Straits:
1977 1st Album Demos (July thru November 1977) - Mark Knophler really shows what all the fuss was about when Dire Straits hit the musical landscape in the late 70's.

The talk around the table was focused on new songs they had in the works Afterwards, they returned to Sunset Sound Studios in Hollywood, CA. and began laying down tracks and jamming. Jim sang a variety of tunes including his own improvisations and Elvis's "Love Me Tender" among others. The Doors played a wide range of musical styles that evening consisting of R & B, Blues and Rock. The final outcome was a mixture Rock that many Doors fans will be blown away with.

The Complete Matrix Club Tapes (4CD) - This set is The Doors collection to cherish. Before the fame and all the hype associated with Jim Morrison, (Kiss The Stone) acquired the master tapes of The Doors performing at a small club in San Francisco, CA. (March 1967). A historical point: This recording is of The Doors performing 2 months after their debut LP was released and months before Light My Fire was a hit. This is a true accounting of how The Doors would effect Rock music forever. Outstanding and a pleasure to hear!

Elvis:
American Sound (Purple Chick) (10CD) - Review: Fresh from his Comeback Special, this is Elvis Presley at his peak. A new producer, strong material and one of the best session bands in the country reinvigorated the King. This is unarguably his most consistent post-army work. Outtakes and session recordings have appeared on many boots before but these tracks have always been somewhat randomly selected and sequenced. For the first time, Purple Chick has gathered together every available piece and compiled a chronological 10CD set. Some versions have never appeared before while many others may be unfamiliar.

Having Fun With Elvis on Stage Vol 1, Vol 2..(2CD) - Comment from a fan: Elvis may have been the King of Rock n Roll but I believe he could have been a successful comedian if he tried. These 2 disks catch the King talking and giving his opinions on a varied number of topics along with just being plain silly. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to these disks as it shows Elvis's other side. If you get a chance to pick these up - do so, you'll be glad you did.

His Hand In Mine (Lazy Tortoise) (2CD) - Info when available.

Jail House Rock Sessions - The King in the studio trying to get it right. Behind the scenes tracks uncovered for all the fans of the one and only Elvis. Features: Don't Leave Me Now (Takes 6,7,8,9,12 + #1, #2 Film track)...Baby I Don't Care (Takes 14,16)...I Want To Be Free (Complete Film track)...Treat me Free...Young and Beautiful)...Jailhouse Rock (Take 6, Alternate, Stereo, Alternate Movie version, Alternate Single version + Movie version.

Kid Galahad Sessions - Nice behind the scenes listen of Elvis in the studio performing "King of the Whole Wide World", "A Whistling Tune" and "Home is Where the Heart is" from the RCA lp Kid Galahad. Sound quality is superb.

Stay Away (Strictly Outtakes) - 17 glorious unreleased tracks that will keep Elvis fans glued to their chairs. I've always been a fan of alternate takes and outro numbers and this is by far one of his best. Tracks: Stay Away, U.S. Male, Man In The Moon, Guitar Man, Angel, Echo's of Love, Please Don't Drag That String Around, I need Your Love Tonight, Silver Bells..

The Complete 1972 On Tour Sessions (3CD) - All the magic, mayhem and terrific tunes from Elvis's 1972 U.S. tour. All tracks recorded March-April 1972. Elvis was definitely in a very relaxed mood thru-out as some of the best tracks feature improvised lyrics and his great sense of humor. If you want to hear the real Elvis, don't miss these.

There's Always Me (Bilko) (Volume 3) (2CD) - Review:
Again, from Bilko, we get another essential two disc set, containing even more superb quality studio outtakes from 1956 to 1969. Volume 3, Elvis was at his consummate best at his Nashville sessions in the early 1960's. He worked on lending his voice to many different styles during his tour of duty in Europe, and the sheer focus he brought to the songs he recorded when he returned to civilian life is stunning.

The highlights of the first disc are, undeniably, the outtakes from the June, 1961 singles session which produced "Little Sister" and "(Marie's The Name of) His Latest Flame", along with another taste of Elvis ripping up "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" in New York on February 3, 1956 (!). The Nashville date in June was guitar god Hank Garland's last work with Elvis before a car accident sidelined his career -- his titanic and downright nasty solo runs throughout "Little Sister" are just "work outs" in the versions we get here, and they're still great! I wish Elvis had chosen this style of the song when he did it on tour in the seventies, it's perfect. As is this entire set.

There's Always Me (Bilko) (Volume 4) (2CD) - Review: Another outstanding release from Bilko!
Disk 1: Mine (# 3, 4), Fame And Fortune (# 1), His Latest Flame (# 9/12), Fame And Fortune (# 4, 6, 7), Just For Old Time Sake (# 3, 4), Night Rider (# 1/3), Tomorrow Is A Long Time (# 1, 2), Beyond The Reef (# 1), Down In The Alley (# 2, 3, 4, 6), Love Letters (# 5, 8), Big Boss Man (# 4, 5, 9), Mine (# 9), U.S. Male (# 7), Stay Away (# 3, 7, 8, 11, 14), U.S. Male (# 6, 9, 10), Mine (instrumental).

Disk 2: (Recorded during rehearsals, July 29, 1970, MGM studios, Culver City, CA.)
Don't It Make You Wanna Go Home, Something, Words, I Just Can't Help Believin', Little Sister/ Get Back, I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water, I Was The One, Cattle Call, Baby, Let's Play House, Don't, Money Honey, A Fool Such As I, Froggy Went-A-courtin', Such A Night, It's Now Or Never, What'd I Say, The Lord's Prayer..

The Pot Luck Sessions Vol 1 - Comment from a fan: This is an amazing disk. It's a re-mastered version of tunes from Pot Luck from the actual 1962 session tapes. Master & Session, as always, has delivered a 1st Class master-piece for Elvis fans the world over. Tracks: Something Blue (takes 1-7), Gonna Get Back Home Somehow (takes 1-7), Such an Easy Question (takes 1-5), Fountain of Love (takes 1-10), Just for Old Times Sake (takes 1-5)..

Also, The Small faces

Detroit 1974 - Quality soundboard from The Faces featuring Rod Stewart, Ron Wood, Kenny Jones, Ian McLagan and Tetsu Yamauchi. Review: I've always loved the way The Faces were able to capture the vibe of artists like Chuck Berry, Duane Eddy and Gene Vincent and create their own distinctive sound. This is a top notch SNB recording I hope others get a chance to hear. *Artwork claims California 76 but it's from Detroit 1974.

Tracks: 1. I'm Losing You, 2. Bring It On Home, 3. Sweet Little Rock n' Roller, 4. Too Bad, 5. Every Picture Tells a Story, 6. Stay With Me, 7. Motherless Children, 8. Gasoline Alley, 9. You Wear It Well, 10. Maggie May, 11. Twistin' The Night Away..

That's All You Need (B) - Scorpio Gold disk of The Faces BBC Broadcasts, 1971-1972.
Rod leads the Faces through a great series of Rock'in numbers at the BBC studios. A much more relaxed mood than the Shake, Shudder disk. Songs include: Three Button Hand Me Down, Miss Judy's Farm, Memphis, Too Bad, Last Orders Please, Devotion, That's All You Need-Honky Tonk Women-Gasoline Alley, I'm Losing You, Stay With Me, Had Me A Real Good Time. Encore: Around The Plynth-Gasoline Alley, Maggie Mae.

Small Faces
Once Upon a Time - A 28 track video history of the Small Faces including all the smashes, promo's and guest appearances that made them one of the UK's top musical draws in the late 1960's. Amazing Promo rarities of Itchycoo Park #1, #2, #3, Lazy Sunday #1, #2, Hey Girl, All or Nothing and Talk to You are included. Watch and get swept away while

Fleetwood Mac:
Also, Buckingham, Nicks

Carousel Ballroom 1968 (2CD) - Stereo soundboard recording of Fleetwood Mac during their blues period featuring Peter Green, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, Jeremy Spencer and guest Paul Butterfield - harp (where noted). This performance is from the Mac's 1st week into their first U.S. tour. Disk 1: June 9, 1968 first set...Disk 2: June 9, 1968 second set, Extra tracks: June 7 or 8, 1968....See More>

Nashville Rumours (2CD) - Recorded live at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium, May 21, 1977.
Originally a U.K. blues based band led by the enigmatic Peter Green, this latter period "Mac" shows why the lp Rumours soared to such fantastic heights. The 70's bands have come and gone but for those who lived it, the music still remains and for those who missed this amazing period of time - well, here's a gem of a discovery!

Rumours Are Rampant (Rumours outtakes) - Long before the Mac sold 20 Million copies of Rumours, the tape machines were already rolling. See how the actual tracks sounded before its 1977 release. Oh Daddy, Silver Spring, Gold Dust Woman #1, Gold Dust Woman #2, Go Your Own Way, Think About It, Don't Stop, I Don't Want To Know, The Chain (Instr),You Make Lovin Fun, Songbird, Dreams, Never Goin Back, The Chain, The Dealer, Silver Spring, Second Hand News..

Tusk Rehearsals - Comment from a fan: No one can ever claim that this title is over-produced. Bare bones to say the least but if you collect outtakes - this is exactly what you want. "Sara" is definitely the standout here. Tracks: Say You Love Me, The Chain, Dreams, Rhiannon, The Ledge, Save Me A Place, Oh Daddy, You Make Lovin’ Fun, Over and Over, That’s All For Everyone, Brown Eyes, Think About Me, Honey Hi, Sara, Go Your Own Way, Angel, Tusk, Sisters of The Moon (piano demo), Stephanie (from Buckingham-Nicks).

Who's The New Girl? (Studio Rehearsals 1975) - Excellent demo/Rehearsal disk of tunes later to be featured on the 1977 mega album Rumours. Comment from a fan: I just finished listening to this and not surprisingly it brought back so many fond memories of my Junior/High School years. They were golden times and Fleetwood Mac for that brief shinning moment epitomized all the fun and excitement I had back then. They years have passed but my memories remain. Thanks so much for having this! Tracks: 1. Station Man, 2. Spare Me A Little, 3. Rhiannon, 4. Why, 5. Landslide, 6. Over My Head, 7. I'm So Afraid, 8. Oh Well, 9. Green Manalishi, 10. World Turning, 11. Blue Letter, 12. Hypnotised..>Studio Rehearsal..Trod Nossels Studios..Wallingford, Connecticut..September 23, 1975..

Buckingham, Nicks
Coffee House Demos (Live tracks + Leftovers) 1970-1974 - These are the STEREO versions recorded on Lindsey's Ampex 4 track recorder. After Fritz disbanded in 1972, Nicks and Buckingham continued to write and record as a duo, producing demo tapes at Buckingham's father's Morris' Coffee Plant. By this time, the two had become romantically involved as well. They secured a deal with Polydor Records, which was attracted by their melodic, California pop harmonies, and photogenic quality.

The debut album Buckingham Nicks caught the attention of drummer Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac. He heard the album playing while visiting a recording studio in Sausalito, California. The band was looking for a new guitar player, following the departure of Bob Welch who left to pursue a solo career, leaving Fleetwood Mac as a trio with only one songwriter, keyboardist/vocalist Christine McVie.

Initially, Fleetwood was interested only in Buckingham, but Buckingham stated that he would only join if Nicks was also invited into the group, stating firmly that he and Nicks were a "package deal". The band members agreed, and Fleetwood asked the duo to join Fleetwood Mac on December 31, 1974.

Tracks: 1. Without You, 2. Candle bright, 3. That's Alright, 4. Garbo, 5. Sorcerer, 6. Cathouse Blues, 7. Goldfish and the Ladybug..
Live in Tuscaloosa Alabama: 8. Lola (My Love), 9. Races Are Run, 10. Rhiannon..

The Deluxe Edition - Rare early tracks from a then unknown duo named "Buckingham, Nicks." Vinyl collectors have dished out huge sums of cash to acquire the original gatefold Polydor lp but demands have exceeded the supply for years. This disk comprises the lp plus Lindsey's forgotten solo tracks from a long since deleted 1970's session. Also includes the duo performing backup vocals on 2 Walter Egan tracks; Magnet and Steel & Just the Waiting. COOL!

Free:
BBC Sessions 1968 thru 1971 - The shape of things to come packaged in a dynamite disk. If these tracks were any indication of how Bad Company would sound years later - then this is a must have item! Paul Kossoff, Andy Fraser, Simon Kirke and Paul Rodgers never sounded better. Included is a raw recording of "All Right Now" along with "My Brother Jake", "Ride On Pony" (alternate takes) "Be My Friend" (Alternate takes) "Fire and Water" and more Rockin tunes. Great set!

Live and Free! Some of the best footage of "Free" to surface in over 2 decades. A very intimate showing of Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke, Andy Fraser and the late Paul Kossoff. See the boys jam such tracks as: Mr. Big, All Right Now, The Stealer, My Brother Jake, Ride on Pony, Fire and Water and several more. Get real, Get FREE!

Santa Monica 1971 (Stealer) - Quality soundboard of Free performing like there's no tomorrow. Broadcast by KUSC FM - Los Angeles, California during a live show in which the band explodes into such tunes as; Heavy Load, Soon I Will be Gone..16 tracks in all. 01 Intro, 02 Be My Friend, 03 The Stealer, 04 Woman, 05 Ride On Pony, 06 Don't Say you love Me, 07 Alright Now, 08 Fire And water, 09 Heavy Load, 10 Highway Song, 11 My Brother Jake, 12 Soon I Will be Gone, 13 I'm A Mover, 14 Mr. Big, 15 The Hunter, 16 Rock me baby..

Genesis:
A Trick of the Tail Outtakes - One of the early stages of Genesis without leader; Peter Gabriel. During this time, fans of the group thought that without Peter the band would ultimately fail. Critics panned the band for lack of showmanship and mediocre live shows. If one blow wasn't enough, guitarist Steve Hackett left shortly after to pursue a solo career. Well, to make a long story short - the band stuck to their guns and became one of the biggest concert draws of the mid to late 80's enjoying success beyond anyone's expectations. Listen for yourself and you'll see why this group is still around today. Recorded at Trident Studios, England October, 1975..Members: Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Steve Hackett, Mike Rutherford.

Rare Tapes (Live from 1970-1998) (5CD) - Comment from a fan: Someone once said, "Big things come in small packages", and man, this couldn't be more true. If you love Genesis (the Gabriel, Hackett period) you're gonna cherish these disks!

An incredible 40 tracks to wet your whistle! Example's: Looking for Someone, The Musical Box, Inside and Out, Ballad of Big, Watcher of the Skies, Happy the Man, Horizon's and So Much More. (MP3 format)
"See Me, Hear Me" (Audience Masters) (2CD) - 1974 Genesis rock'in the great North East.

Recorded at The Record Plant Studios, NY - sourced from the personal DATs of Alan Niven (Former GN'R manager). Review: Guns and Roses were the bridge between Hair metal and the Grunge period.

Jimi Hendrix: For more items; See DTS listings

34 Outtakes (Reel 5) (2CD) - Somewhat of a misnomer, this set does not have 34 tracks but in fact only 24. None the less, a worthy addition to any Hendrix collection. This set features outtakes and demos from 1968-1970 time period from the Band of Gypsy's rehearsals & Baggy's, NY City. A definite diamond in the rough.

Black Gold (5CD) - Comment from a fan: - This is the BEST Box set of Jimi period!
5CDs in clear spectacular sound. Excellent performances, jams and outtake sessions. Released in 1996 by Midnight Beat, it's still the one to surpass! Get your copy today! MORE Info>

Electric Lady-land Outtakes - Jimi doing his thing and loving it! This title comprises tracks from Hendrix's Drake Hotel demos along with studio takes that show a TRUE musician at play. A very soulful experience as Jimi conveys his feelings as if the guitar were an extension of his inner being. One of his most soulful disks! Amazing!

It Takes a Few To Tango - The Experienced 1969 Sessions;
The best compilation of all tracks known to exist for the February 1969 studio recordings in their best available quality.
The band consists of the legendary trio and includes Noel Redding's over-looked track "Noel's Tune". Get ready to rock!

Noel's Tune - Olympic Studios, February 26..

Jams '69' - A short but oh, so very sweet jam session recorded on May 7, 1969 at the Record Plant, New York. Johnny Winter plays slide guitar along with Dallas Taylor (CSNY) on drums. It's been rumored that Steven Stills guests on guitar but plays Bass only. Tracks: 1. Instrumental Jam, 2. Earth Blues Jam, 3. Things I used to do, 4. Instrumental Jam, 5. Things I used to do (Later Mix)

Jimi Does Berkeley (Complete afternoon rehearsal) - An insiders listening experience of Jimi, Mitch and Billy as they tear thru a number of memorable songs to be performed later that evening. Jimi never played the same song twice so it's nice to hear the different interpretations of his guitar passages as he improvises on the spot. As always, Mitch and Billy provide an excellent background to Hendrix's sonic licks.

Tracks: 01. Message To Love, 02. Blue Suede Shoes, 03. Hey Baby (New Rising Sun), 04. Earth Blues take 1, take 2, 05. Room Full of Mirrors, 06. Villanova Junction/ Keep On Groovin', 07. Freedom, 08. Power Of Soul (intro), 09. Machine Gun..

Let's Drop Some Ludes (and Vomit with Jimi) - A silly name for a disk but once you begin listening - the songs definitely make up for it. Guitar maestro John McLaughlin guest stars on tracks 1 & 7..

Track info:
1. Driv'in South/Everything's Gonna Be Alright - The jam with John McLaughlin that has some absolutely killer guitar you'd expect! 2. Drone Blues - This track is an early tryout version of Night Bird Flying but without vocals. 3. Easy Blues - A more complete version of the track that was on Nine to the Universe. 4. Strato Strut - A rock'in up-tempo instrumental. 5. I'm A Man (instrumental) - Great jam with Buddy Miles on drums but missing a bass player. Not a problem though, this is a rocker. 6. I'm A Man (very early jam of Stepping Stone) - Most disks contain this track as a instrumental but not this time; hear it with the vocals! 7. Instrumental Jam - Listed as "Embryonic version of Tomorrow Never Knows". Rumor has it that Johnny Winter is the second guitarist.

Rare TV Collection - Recently unearthed clips of Jimi and the Experience performing a slew of killer songs. Early takes of Purple Haze and Hey Joe are included. Some rarities include; Stone Free and Burning of the Midnight Lamp.

Raw But Lean (A Blues Story) (2CD) - Outtake recordings considered for (but not used) Jimi's posthumous release "Blues". Review: 1968-70 was a magical time for music. The landscape of rock was changing - love was still in the air and political awareness filled the campuses but a dose of reality was seeping in. Drugs, violence and uncertainty were becoming more present. The war in Southeast Asia didn't help matters and so began the era of Heavy Rock.

Hendrix is a master, this 2 disk set is a real treasure that everyone should hear.

Disk 1: 1. Red House, 2. Born Under A Bad Sign, 3. Once I Had A Woman, 4. Easy Blues, 5. Mannish Boy, 6. Villanova Junction/Jam/Country Blues/Jam (Long version), 7. Georgia Blues..

The Sotheby Auction Tapes - In 1981, some unknown tapes came up for auction at Sotheby's Auction House in England. The tapes in question were rare outtakes, demos and different mixes of tracks from Jimi's first 3 albums but mostly from Axis: Bold As Love. Where these tapes came from is anybody's guess. Some people claim Chas Chandler is the culprit but no one really knows for sure. Wherever they came from - they are a treasure! Brian Jones: Sitar on tracks 10, 11.

Stockholm, Sweden - A road weary Jimi performs and delights the Swedish fans in this epic concert. You can tell the intense concentration of Jimi as he and The Experience jam like there's no tomorrow. Songs include: Killing Floor, Spanish Castle Magic, Fire, Hey Joe, Voodoo Child, Red House and Sunshine of your Love.

Other highlights; early takes of other artists associated with Buddy throughout his very short career. Waylon Jennings, Rick Tucker, Norman Petty Trio, Harry Nilsson, Jerry Engler, Carolyn Hester and others. A truly wonderful set.

The Complete Buddy Holly: Following on the heels of Purple Chick's acclaimed 10 disk audio set "Complete Buddy Holly" set, along comes this companion DVD. The available footage is spectacular. Some have been edited together from multiple sources with newly restored / added sound. Comment from a fan: This disk will make you appreciate Buddy that much more!

What You Been a Missin (4CD) - An excellent release by Vigotone and one that'll keep you Rockin to the Bop!
Here's some info from Vigotone on this dynamic set: This set is about the unreleased music of Buddy Holly. Since Buddy's death, there have been a number of LP's released of previously unavailable material. Almost all of the songs were overdubbed in a mostly heavy handed way. The aim of this set is to do just that: present as much unreleased and alternate Buddy Holly music as we could find in its original form and from the best available sources.

We have done all possible to eliminate flaws where possible without harming the fidelity of the music. The music has been sequenced chronologically in order to illustrate Holly's growth as a performer and songwriter.

Joan Jett:
NHK Hall, Tokyo, Japan (December 4,1982) - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts rock Japan in this 1982 Christmas time tour.

Janis Joplin: For more items; See DTS listings

Blow All My Blues Away (4CD) - Review: This set of archival recordings lets us witness the formation of arguably the most powerful and expressive voice in rock history. From the earliest known performances in the small bars of Texas to the first sessions with Big Brother to her mesmerizing live shows, Janis never left behind her raw roots. She drew upon them to impel emotional performances as if by exposing her pain she gained power over her past and transformed it into a gift. In these newly sourced pearls, we can hear as never before the birth and fast burning flame of Janis Joplin.

Included are outtakes and unreleased songs from the 1968 "Cheap Thrills" studio sessions, demos for the 1969 Kozmic Blues album and vast improvements on all existing vintage (1962-65) live recordings. The vintage recordings, in particular, are wonderful and although we had some of this material from the long out of print "Janis" movie soundtrack vinyl release, this collection has 39 (!) tracks recorded between 1962-65 including the "Typewriter Tapes" made by Jorma. The final CD finally unchains the urgent expression and lets it be heard in a complete Big Brother concert from 1967.

Includes: The Typewriter Tape - A very obscure tape that was recorded at Jorma Kaukonen's house on June 25th 1964.
Jorma was at the time the lead guitarist for the Jefferson Airplane and later of Hot Tuna. Very fun listen as Janis belts out the blues that only she could deliver. Great down-home blues accompaniment by Jorma. Jorma's wife is heard in the background using the typewriter to record the lyrics (hence the titles name). 1. Trouble In Mind, 2. Long Black Train, 3. Kansas City Blues (false start), 4. Kansas City Blues, 5. Hesitation Blues, 6. (strumming) 7. Nobody Knows You When You're Down & Out, 8. Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.

Kiss:

Also, Paul Stanley

1973 Demo's (Debut “KISS" Lp notes) - Produced by Eddie Kramer, engineered by Dave Wittman.
The original KISS demos were recorded in Studio B at Electric Lady Studios and completed by March 13, 1973, according to studio reel documentation. Since the band was by that time only 2 months old, the recording is all the more impressive considering it was long thought that the demo session had taken place much earlier after a long period of rehearsal and practice to get the band fully syncopated. Per Eddie Kramer, "we’re going to do it the old fashioned way, we’re going to do it 4-track, and go 4 to 2 to 4.’ And that’s what we did, and those demos are amazing. I still have a copy of them and they sound great”.
Tracks: 01. Deuce, 02. Cold Gin, 03. Strutter, 04. Watchin' You, 05. Black Diamond..

Fresno, California (November 27, 1979) (Soundboard)(2CD) - Comment from a fan: I had just graduated from HS and was awaiting entry in the Navy-when a friend gave me a ticket to go see Kiss in concert. Not only was the music out of this world but the pyrotechnics, glitter and crowd response made it even better. Thanks! Tracks: 1. King Of The Nightime World, 2. Let Me Go, Rock And Roll, 3. Move On, 4. Calling Dr. Love, 5. Firehouse, 6. New York Groove, 7. I Was Made For Lovin' You, 8. Christine Sixteen, 9. 2000 Man / Guitar Solo, 10. Love Gun, 11. God Of Thunder-Bass Solo, 12. Shout It Out Loud, 13. Black Diamond, 14. Detroit Rock City, 15. Beth, 16. Rock And Roll All Nite.

God's of Thunder (A Musical History)(28CD) - Not to be confused with any commercial offering, this is the ultimate Kiss set for casual fans and diehards alike. Trace the roots of Kiss and various monikers from 1966-2007. This set contains a smorgasbord of red meat that was available for International fan club members only. Now you see why members get the deals huh? Anyways, click the link and see what you've been missing. >Show me

Kiss and Wicked Lester - Who would have thought this disk was history in the making. The beginning of what would become THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE LAND...KISS! Incredible 14 track monster. Includes early versions of Kiss classics; "Love Her All I Can", "Deuce", "Cold Gin", "Strutter", and more. Outstanding..Although the band Wicked Lester never issued an official recording during their brief tenure together, the group would serve as a stepping stone for both Gene and Paul.

New York Rehearsal 76 (A) - Nice set. Tracks 1-10 are from Kiss's 1976 rehearsal sessions. Tracks 11-16 are unreleased tracks and demos not heard before. Includes the rare acoustic version of "Beth". This alone is worth the price of admission! Other songs are: Take Me, Detroit Rock City, Cold Gin, Ladies Room, Makin Love among others. Standout Track; Gene's Love is Blind.

Next Stop COBO Hall - Review: A great early Kiss concert recorded before they hit the big time.
The sound quality for the first 45 seconds is not very clear. After that it's solid. Back in the early 70s, doing well the first time you played Detroit was like doing well at the Apollo Theater in NYC - you know the band had to be under some pressure to make a good showing - and they pulled it off.

Instead of the siren we're used to hearing ("Kiss Alive") at the end of "Firehouse, " you hear Peter Criss banging on a cowbell and Ace Frehley flipping the pickup selection toggle switch on his Les Paul. Now that's classic Rock n Roll nostalgia! Tracks: 1. Deuce, 2. Strutter, 3. She, 4. Firehouse, 5. Nothing To Lose, 6. Cold Gin, 7. 100,000 Years, 8. Black Diamond, 9. Let Me Go Rock n' Roll..
"See Me, Hear Me" (Audience Masters) - 1975 Kiss rock'in the great North East.
An exciting new series by "See Me" has just been released featuring lost concerts of some of the greatest groups of all time. These recordings are so good, they rival soundboards! Impossible you say? You ain't heard noth'in yet.

Tracks: Opening act for Black Sabbath;
01 Deuce, 02 Strutter, 03 Hotter Than Hell, 04 Firehouse, 05 She, 06 C'Mon and Love Me, 07 100,000 Years, 08 Drums/Paul Stanley Rap, 09 100,000 Years, 10 Black Diamond, 11 Cold Gin, 12 Rock and Roll All Nite..

The Original Wicked Lester Session Part 1 - This disk is compiled from session tapes of Paul and Gene's group Wicked Lester. The voice is unmistakably Paul's and the pounding bass could only be Gene's. Nine essential songs are contained on this set. Standout Track: Long Long Road. GOTTA HAVE IT DISK!

The Original Wicked Lester Session Part 2 - 22 dynamite tracks...Includes Final mixes and original rockers.
Songs are: Simple Type, She, Too Many Mondays, When The Bell Rings, Molly, Love Her All I Can, Sweet Ophelia, Keep Me Waiting, What Happened In The Darkness + more. Historic stuff! Quality audio!

Toronto or Bust! (The Hottest Band In The Land) - Kiss performing at a small club in Toronto Canada 1976. It's a great sounding SNB that includes some of the new Destroyer tracks. It's always a party when Kiss appears and this title shows why.

Paul Stanley:
Live at The Ritz (March 11, 1989) - One Killer show and one befitting the name of its publisher; Fork In Hell Records.
Paul really rocks out on this rare solo tour while awaiting Kiss to get back to business. Enjoy!

Tracks: I Stole Your Love..I Want You..Tears Are Falling..Tonight You Belong To Me..C'Mon And Love Me..Wouldn't You Like To Know Me..Heaven's On Fire..Hide Your Heart..Reason To Live..Lick It Up..Let's Put The X In Sex..Love Gun..Goodbye..Communication Breakdown..Detroit Rock City.

Little Feat: For More titles; see Audiophiles

One of the most enduring "Southern Bands" of all time. Little Feat has gone through some personnel changes since their inception (1969) but still continues today to add an intense, free flowing vibe when it comes time to deliver the goods.

The 1975 Wembley title is an earlier piece with Lowell George leading the charge along with all the great music that put Little Feat on the map.

If you've followed this incredible band thru the years, I believe you'll still be in awe of what these titles offer. Or, if you're new to their music - I believe you're in store for quite a surprise.

"See Me, Hear Me" (Audience Masters) - 1976 Skynyrd rock'in the great North East.
An exciting new series by "See Me" has just been released featuring lost concerts of some of the greatest groups of all time. These recordings are so good, they rival soundboards! Impossible you say? You ain't heard noth'in yet.
Tracks:
01 Workin' For MCA, 02 I Ain't The One, 03 Saturday Night Special (spliced), 04 Searching, 05 Travellin' Man, 06 Gimme Three Steps, 07 Call Me The Breeze, 08 T For Texas, 09 Sweet Home Alabama, 10 Freebird (spliced)..

*Opening act for Jeff Beck and the Jan Hammer Group.

Joni Mitchell:
Joni, Live at the Newport Folk Festival 1969 - Very rare sound board recording of Joni performing at the famed Newport Folk Festival during her 1969 evening set. Crowd response is enthusiastic - Joni is clearly enjoying herself.
Tracks 1 thru 8 are from the concert. Tracks #9 is from a different source and is from an audience recording. Though not as striking as the first eight but still a great capture. Tracks: 01 Chelsea Morning, 02 Cactus Tree, 03 Night In The City, 04 For Free, 05 Willy, 06 The Fiddle and the Drum, 07 Both Sides Now, 08 Get Together, 09 The Circle Game (Lesser quality)

Joni Plays the BBC - Pretty in pink, she is! This is just a visual side note to Joni's performance. Though she has a quiet almost meek stage appearance, this does not distract from the absolutely flawless performance she gives while capturing the audience. Whether performing solo on guitar, piano and on a "stretched fiddle" Joni serves up seven songs from her first four albums. The audio and images are excellent! Though a few of the songs are among her most famous early compositions ("Chelsea Morning," "Both Sides Now," "Big Yellow Taxi"), for the serious fans there are also some less celebrated early cuts as Cactus Tree, My Old Man, For Free and California..

Lights Out In Georgia - Review: Live tracks from a undated early Joni Mitchell gig. Restored vinyl source labeled "Lights Out In Georgia". Incredible with nice interaction from Joni and the audience. If you want to hear how it was in Joni's early rise to fame - then this is one disk you've got to hear. Bravo!

Live At Club 47 (January 10, 1968) - Joni Mitchell - Club 47, 1968 (no label) live at Club 47, Cambridge, MA. Jan 10, 1968.
This is a far superior pressing than "By The Banks Of The River Charles". Contains four never released Mitchell originals Gift Of The Magi, Ballerina Valerie, The Way It Is, Come To The Sunshine. Excellent SBD stereo.

The Hissing Demos of Summer Lawns - The Alternate mega album by Canadian songstress Joni Mitchell. If you enjoyed the commercial version, the demo version will astound you. A masterpiece is an understatement. It was during Joni's tour with Bob Dylan that Joni began writing these tracks and performing them on the road.Practice definitely makes perfect!

Tracks: 1. Harry's House, 2. Edith And The Kingpin, 3. In France They Kiss On Main Street, 4. Sweet Bird, 5. Shades Of Scarlett Conquering, 6. Shadows And Light, 7. Dreamland, 8. The Boho Dance, 9. Hunter..

(The) Monkees: For more items; See Dr. Ebbetts
Ultra Rare Videos - An assortment of Monkee gems covering the full spectrum of fun pop rock. Includes performances from The Glen Campbell Show, The Tonight Show, Miss Teen USA, CNN, Clive James, Greg Kinnear, Laugh In and The Today Show. All the hits, all the zaniness, all the fun.

Van Morrison:

"Master Sound" Remaster:
ZK 66220 Blowin' Your Mind! (Bang Records)

Laughing in the Wind - Comment from a fan: This is Volume #1 of 4 from Van Morrison's "Gets His Chance To Wail" series. The 19 tracks on this excellent disk cover some of his most prolific tracks. Most of the demos would end up on Moondance, His Band-Street Choir & Tupelo Honey. At the beginning of "Domino" there's a little studio discussion included as they decide to leave the flute out of the mix. Van says, "I think that's a better key for me; gives me a chance to 'wee-ale' more."
Tracks include: Ballerina, Domino, If I Ever Need Someone, These Dreams Of You, And It Stoned Me, Come Running, Bit By Bit, Hey Where Are You, Lorna, I Need Your Kind Of Loving, Rock & Roll Band, Funny Face, I Shall Sing, Laughing In The Wind, Street Theory, Foggy Mountain Top, There There Child, It Hurts To Want It So Bad, Feedback On Highway 101..(Tracks 1-12: Studio demos, 1969 & 1970) (Tracks 13-19: Studio 1974, 75)
Naked in the Jungle - This is Volume #2 of Van's excellent "Gets His Chance To Wail" series.

Volume 2 picks up where #1 left off at with some desirable demos, studio and Live tracks.
Tracks include: Wild Night, Brand New Day, When The Evening Sun Goes Down, Nobody Really Knows, Caravan, The Way Young Lovers Do, Spare Me A Little (with Jackie DeShannon), You've Got The Power, Try For Sleep, Naked In The Jungle, And The Streets Only Knew Her Name, Grits Ain't Groceries, Don't Change On Me, Down To Earth, Mechanical Bliss, Real-Real Gone, Foreign Window (with Bob Dylan)..(Tracks 1-6 studio demos, 1969-1971) (Tracks 7-16 studio recordings, 1974-1976) (Track 17 live, late 1980's)..

The Genuine Philosopher's Stone (3CD) - Comment from a fan: A deluxe 3CD set that brings together material from the 1964-75 "Van The Man" period. The bulk of the material is studio demos and outtakes but there are selected live tracks as well. The majority of the material has never been booted before or even circulated in collectors circles. This is probably the most important "unofficial" Van Morrison release to date!" See MORE >

The Inner Mystic (Re-mastered) (Live at Pacific High Studios) (2CD) - On September 5, 1971, Van recorded a good amount of material live for radio broadcast before a small studio audience at Pacific High Studios near San Francisco. Much of this has surfaced in extracts on numerous bootlegs but this 2 disk set offers a fuller version than is usually available from other sources.
If you're looking for unreleased live Van Morrison, this should be one of your first stops. The sound is very good and clear, although it's a bit duller than the standard expected of official concert recordings. Morrison is in fine vocal form as he runs through much of his early catalog, including some of his most famous songs ("Tupelo Honey," "Into the Mystic," "Domino," "Blue Money"). There are less-celebrated original compositions here, too, but most interesting of all are the few detours into even less-charted territory: Van covers Dylan's "Just Like a Woman" (an excellent, passionate version) and "Hound Dog," as well as Van's own "Friday's Child," dug up from his old Them days. ~ R. Unterberger, All Music Guide.

Unplugged in the Studio (Demos 1968-1971) - As outtake recordings go, many disks concentrate on a certain period of the artists career. This title is different in that it covers with some detail Van's most creative periods and finishes with some spectacular un-issued tracks.

Mountain:
Also, Leslie West

Give Me More at The Fillmore East (1971) - A fresh re-mastered soundboard of Mountain bringing the house down as only they can. Review: There's always something magical when I hear Leslie West play, he's not a Steve Vai or Malmsteen but really a players player. He has the sweetest licks, exactly what you'd want in a guitarist. Of course, the band wouldn't have been the same if Felix, Corky or Steve Knight weren't there. This release is a long time coming, Bravo!
Tracks: 1. Never In My Life, 2. Theme For An Imaginary Western, 3. Guitar Solo / Roll Over Beethoven, 4. Dreams Of Milk And Honey, 5. Silver Paper, 6. Mississippi Queen..

Leslie West - guitar, Felix Pappalardi - bass, Steve Knight - organ, Corky Laing - drums..

Wichita Lineman (Wichita, Kansas 1971) - Very few Mountain boots exist that capture the essence of what this original trio was all about; Boogie Rock. In the era of Spooky Tooth and Savoy Brown, Mountain seemed to gather a large cult following but never the commercial success that the aforementioned would garner. All in all, this disk is a tasty delight of Leslie, Felix, Corky and Steve Knight. (Track #6 is a guitar jam with Leslie and Richie Blackmore of Deep Purple fame!)

Leslie West:
Mountain of a Man - What a disk! Leslie may have hit the big time with Mountain but his crowning achievement was laying the groundwork for what was to become Mountain's guitar driven sound. This disk shows the Big Man's versatile style and energy with Mountain and with the Vagrants, his first recognized band. Again, TenDolor records has released a winner with this title. 19 tracks. Some tracks sourced from vinyl.

Nirvana: For More titles; see Audiophiles
Pat O'Brien Pavilion (Del Mar California Fairgrounds) - One of the most acclaimed groups of the mid 80's emerges with a fine release as caught live in 1991. Sound quality is an A+ throughout the 13 tracks on this disk. Unfortunately, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is abruptly cut off before it begins. Word has it that the taper was thinking more of the concession stand than capturing Kurt singing this grunge classic.

Tracks: 01) intro..02) Drain You..03) Aneurysm..04) School..05) Floyd The Barber..06) Smells Like Teen Spirit (Abrupt cut off)..07) About A Girl..08) Polly..09) Sliver..10) Breed..11) Come As You Are..12) Lithium..13) Territorial Pissings..

Roseland Ballroom 1993 (New Music Seminar) - Another kick-ass show from the Grunge masters. Slight audio problems by original taper who started late on 1st song and ran out of recording media on last track. Overall, it's a great capture for the ages as Nirvana will definitely not be re-grouping. Tracks: 01) Scentless Apprentice (cut), 02) School, 03) Breed, 04) Lithium, 05) Come As You Are, 06) Milk It, 07) Drain You, 08) Tourette's, 09) Aneurysm, 10) Very Ape, 11) Blew, 12) Heart-Shaped Box, 13) Rape Me (cut)..

Simon and Garfunkel: For more items; See Dr. Ebbetts listings

Back To College ( Miami University-Ohio) Nov, 1969) - Recorded at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio,
November 11th, 1969. This is historically important, as it was this tour that saw the first performance of the 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' album. You can see that even here Paul was getting miffed with Art for being a movie star. By saying 'No-one cares for the little old song writer anymore. Tracks: Mrs. Robinson, Fakin' It, The Boxer, So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright, Why Don't You Write Me, Silver Haired Daddy, Cuba Si - Nixon No, Bridge Over Troubled Water, The Sound Of Silence, Bye Bye Love, Homeward Bound, At The Zoo, America, Song For The Asking, A Poem On The Underground Wall, For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her..

Live At Tufts University 1966 - Rumored to be sourced from a pre-production acetate of an aborted live S&G album from the 60's. The set list is very close to that of the official "Live in New York City 1967" CD that came out in 2002.
The sound quality is what one would expect from an acetate that has been through a few generations of tape copying: The fidelity is a bit muffled but quite clear. There is tape flutter evident but it doesn't distract too much from the performances. A period that both Paul and Art admit was their best in terms of harmonies.

Overs (2CD) - Various, including studio outtakes, live audience recordings, soundboard, and others. Mastered from various sources. Includes; Bleeker Street (Demo), Bad News Feeling (Studio Rehearsal), Blues Run The Game (Outtake 1966). Many Many More! 55 tracks in all.

Simon & Garfunkel's Old Friends Tour (July 10, 2009 Tokyo, Japan) (2CD) - Review:
Like a fine wine, age is what makes it taste so sweet. This impressive 2 disk set is no different. The 1st note sets the stage for a fabulous show staged at the Tokyo Dome during Paul and Art's 2009 Old Friends tour. Not many dates were captured so that's another reason for it's demand along with historical relevance. If you've heard these disks then you know what I mean but if not, please seek this set out and join in on what you've been a missin!

Disk 1: 01 -intro-, 02 Old Friend - Bookends, 03 A Hazy Shade Of Winter, 04 I Am A Rock, 05 America, 06 Kathy's Song, 07 Hey Schoolgirl, 08 Be Bop A Lula, 09 Scarborough Fair, 10 Homeward Bound, 11 Mrs. Robinson w/ Not Fade Away, 12 Slip Slidin' Away, 13 El Condor Pasa, 14 Bright Eyes (Art solo), 15 A Heart In New York (Art solo), 16 Perfect Moment (Art solo), 17 Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (Art solo),

The Alternate Bookends (Purple Chick) - This CD contains *three* versions of Simon and Garfunkel's "Bookends" album. Live version, Mono version and most importantly, an alternate version. The alternate version contains demos, alternates, outtakes, and single mixes. Highlights include a completely unheard song (Paul's demo of Groundhog) and two songs with completely different lyrics: "Save The Life Of My Child"
and "At The Zoo" - all in *amazing* quality. Comment from a fan: Absolutely fantastic! Get this disc...NOW! Very different sounding (mostly acoustic) and very different lyrical takes. The mono version IS GREAT!

The Paul Simon Songbook - The Paul Simon Song Book is an album released in the UK in 1965 and deleted in 1979 at Simon's request. Paul had one microphone for both his voice and his guitar, Tracks (1-14) which is why you can hear him stamping his feet to the rhythm on The Sound of Silence. The cover also features his at-that-time girlfriend, Kathy Chitty.

*The disk features many bonus tracks and includes alt versions of "I Am A Rock" and "A Church is Burning" which were not part of the 1965 release. All songs credited to Paul Simon except * Paul Kane (a pseudonym used by Paul because of his fondness for the film Citizen Kane). Some tracks are from a vinyl source. 28 tracks total

Tom and Jerry (Complete Early Recordings/Purple Chick) (2CD) - The definitive collection of Simon and Garfunkel when the duo was better known as Tom and Jerry. If you love "spot on" harmony with some of the best song writing
ever - bar none, then you'll really enjoy this set. For track info Click Here

Unsurpassed Masters (June 14, 1967) - Info Soon

Voices of Intelligent Dissent (Hollywood Bowl) (8-23-68) - Live at the Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood, California, August 23, 1968. Original Recording Engineered by Al Kooper. The most complete recording of a 1968 S&G show. The recording was supervised by Al Kooper for possible live release - the sound quality is very nice (though a bit hissy at times). The performance is spirited - the duo was riding the crest of their fame at the time. Worth finding.

Young Friends (Live 1966, 1967) - Info Soon

Patti Smith:

Let's Deodorize The Night (2CD) - Excellent soundboard recording of Patti Smith performing live at the The Bottom Line NYC, on Dec 28, 1975. All the in-between chit-chat and great music as it was captured by WNEW FM during the late show.

Unreleased B-sides Live (1974-1978) - Review: A very unique vinyl rip of Patti Smith performing her own brand of New York styled rock n roll at the Bottom Line. During the mid to late 70's, critics and music fans alike flooded to the city, especially to clubs like "The Bottom Line" and CBGB's to experience this wave of poetic art rock. She wasn't the first but she led the wave for a few magical years which finally culminated with her classic Top 10 hit; Because The Night". If you get a chance to catch the mood of the day, don't miss this one.

Tracks: (Assumed)
Patty Hearst Reading - Hey Joe, Communication (Future), Radio Ethiopia, 25th Floor, Eye of The Sun Reading, White Christmas..

Sonic Youth: For More titles; see Audiophiles
Comment from a fan:
So much has been written about this group (good & bad) that many just assume they are a clone of the 60's Velvet Underground. When I first encountered their music, I wasn't expecting much considering what I had heard from others who were in the know.

Man, was I in for a treat! Sure, they have a vibe reminiscent of the Velvet's but it goes much deeper than that.
Every song is a retreat in musical imagery. The voice blended with the instrumentation is pure delight and every verse is dying to climax to another height. They definitely achieve this level.

If you want to experience a touch of 60's psychedelic meshed with a 80's indie flair, you won't want to miss this group. Many thanks to "Sonic Mania" for his comments.

Robin Trower:
Also, Procol Harum

Eagle Not the Dove - This has got to be one of Robin's most famous recordings. As a member of Procol Harum, Trower wasn't considered a guitar slinger but as the band members went their separate ways - he became one of the best and most highly recognized guitar gods on the planet. This offering from "TenDolar" showcases Robin's playing to the fullest as a 70's solo artist and with Procol Harum. Features: Live BBC tracks, outtakes from Harum's "Prodical Stranger" lp, Procol at the BBC + studio sessions and a Live radio session in1971. Get Rocked - guitar styled!

For Earth Below (Sessions and Jams) (2CD) - Comment from a fan: In this material, we get the treat of listening to the band's creative process, as they work out ideas and experiment, doing some old numbers from the first two albums and working out new ideas for their third album. This is a rare opportunity to hear this newly formed lineup having fun and letting go. Trower's guitar work is fabulous.

All of the material here comes from his September 1974 jams and rehearsal sessions at the old Victorian church in London. They were recorded on a portable machine in the bands rehearsal room and are not professional studio tracks. These numbers have a rough, jam feel to them. This material is very special because it shows us a view of the Trower band that few have ever seen. Included are a few great jazz-rock fusion jams. These present a very unusual side of Trower. Matthew Fisher even joins in and plays keyboards on several of these tracks .

Rock Goes To College - Robin plays some of his best known "Bridge of Sighs" tracks plus others for a very enthusiastic London University crowd during the height of his fame. (1980) The incomparable Jim Dewar is featured as vocalist. Also, included is a special bonus section featuring Robin's guitar playing per his "Hot Licks" video spot. This guy can PLAY!

Stevie Ray Vaughn:
A Tale Untold (4CD) - See More> info about this extensive audio library.

Cobras (Studio and Radio) - 1975

Rough Edges (Early Studio Tracks) - 19 tracks that'll keep you rockin and bopin. In Fact, Eric Clapton has been quoted as saying that one day while he was driving and listening to the radio, a SRV song came on and he was so mesmerized that he had to find out who this artist was. He found out and later toured with SRV/Double Trouble. The rest is history.

Touch The Sky - Incredible Studio outtakes and on the spot tracks from SRV/Double Trouble during the "Soul To Soul" and "Couldn't Stand The Weather" sessions in Dallas, Texas. This set includes the very 1st take of Hendrix's Little Wing among other guitar driven Blues Rock monsters. 15 tracks in all.

Unsurpassed Masters (3CD) - The Unsurpassed Masters set of SRV//Double Trouble encompasses a treasure trove of unheard gems in SRV's catalog of sounds. All 3 Volume's recorded between March 1985 - May1985 at Dallas Sound Labs in Texas during the "Soul To Soul" sessions.
45 tracks in all plus a barrage of Blues and Rock licks that'll keep all SRV fans delighted. Outstanding!

Live at Montreux (1985) - Rock'in Switzerland, Loud, Proud and full of dynamite sound. This show was performed a few years before Stevie and Double Trouble made their impact on Austin City Limit's. Stevie was set to impress and gave the crowd the very best he had to offer. Breath-takingly beautiful and full of soulful bliss. Sit back and crank it up, you'll be blown away.

Timothy White's Rock Stars Interview -A very in depth and complete radio show held in 1989 at "Sound On Sound" studios, NY City Oct 23, 1989..Stevie discusses a wide variety of subjects and pays homage to some of the Blues greats that shaped his truly unique sound. The real bonus is the in-between chatter, guitar licks and jamming that TW often requested of Stevie. Wonderful disk.

(The) Velvet Underground: For More titles; see Audiophiles
Also, Lou Reed

Ultimate Mono and Acetates album (3CD) - Recently these tracks (Disk 1) were found on a long lost album at a flea market in New York by a music collector and auctioned for a record $130, 000. The rarity alone for these alternate tracks and acetate recordings created a huge demand not seen since the discovery of lost Beatle tracks uncovered in the mid 70's. A total of 3 rare disks in this set. Origin is Vinyl. More> See More>>

Ultra Rare Trax Vol 2 - Half of this disk is Lou Reed performing acoustic home demos in preparation for his first solo album. A few of the songs ("Lisa Says," "I Love You," "Wild Child," and "Ride into the Sun") make their debut here before their 1971 release. In a sense, it's a link between the Velvet Underground and Lou's solo career. Good, good stuff. Some tracks from a vinyl source.

Ultra Rare Trax Vol 4 - Excellent sing-a-long disk for fans of Nico/VU. The songs are good but the chit chat between Nico and Lou is priceless. Die hards as well as casual fans will be delighted. Some tracks from a vinyl source.

Lou Reed

Falkoner Theatre (Copenhagen, Denmark 1973) (Rock n Roll Animal) - Review: A quality soundboard recording of Lou and a top notch band Steve Hunter: guitar...Dick Wagner: guitar...Peter Walsh: bass...Ray Colcord: keyboards and Pentti Glan: drums (at one of the first shows on the European tour to promote "Berlin".

At this stage of Lou's career - Lou's drug of choice was alcohol. But he seems to have been relatively "together" for this show, and manages to remember the words to most of the songs. (Compared to the Glasgow show) in which he had to be propped up at the mic by the road crew after repeatedly collapsing on stage.)

Tracks: 01: Intro/Sweet Jane, 02: How Do You Think It Feels?, 03: Caroline Says 1, 04: I'm Waiting For The Man, 05: Satellite Of Love,
06: Walk On The Wild Side, 07: Oh Jim, 08: Heroin, 09: Rock And Roll, 10: White Light/White Heat (cuts), 11: Vicious..

Early Recordings (1964-1965) - The foundations for what would become The Velvet Underground were laid in late 1964. Lou Reed had performed with a few short-lived garage bands and had worked as a songwriter for Pickwick Records, a job Reed described as "a poor man's Carole King". Reed met John Cale, a Welshman who had moved to the United States to study classical music. Cale had worked with John Cage and La Monte Young, but was also interested in rock music. (Young's use of extended drones would be a profound influence on the early Velvet's sound). The pair rehearsed and performed together, and their partnership and shared interests steered the early direction of what would become the Velvet Underground.

Tracks: 1. So Blue as performed by The Jades, 2. Leave Her For Me as performed by The Jades, *Lou with The Primitives
7 inch single, Pickwick City PC-9001, December 1964, 3. The Ostrich 4. Sneaky Pete, 5. Cycle Annie as performed by Lou Reed, 6. You're Driving Me Insane as performed by Lou Reed, 7. I've Got A Tiger In My Tank as performed by The Intimates 8. Why Don't You Smile Now as performed by "The All Night Workers", 9. Wild One as performed by Terry Philips, 10. This Rose as performed by Terry Philips,

Lifehouse and Quadrophenia Demos (2CD) - Includes all of the songs intended for Pete's/The Who's Lifehouse Project. Includes a 13 minute version of Baba O'Riley which is the longest complete demo to BE FOUND! The story of Lifehouse is one that goes back to the Who's - "Who's Next" album. The ambitious Lifehouse Project was a concept that Pete conceived but was never understood by his band mates or other associates. Glyn John's their producer at the time suggested that he release the tracks for "Who's Next" and scrap the project altogether. They did and the rest is musical history. "Next" became one of the Who's biggest sellers and remains a stellar lp. Most tracks are from the acetate recording. The quality varies from track to track but for the most part this is A GREAT LISTEN! All songs written and performed by Pete.

Live At Leeds Complete (2CD) - Review: A boot of the Leeds show has been released, entitled "Live At Leeds Complete." The full performance is here including 'Tommy' which was commercially released as an edited version. The complete show includes in between song breaks including audible chatter which is always a fun thing to hear. There's no doubt about it - I'll take the boot over the commercial press any day.

More Who'd (3CD) - This is the 2nd "More" series by Dig It Records. Not much is known about this label except for the quality work they continue to release. Aside from The Rolling Stones "More Stoned" set and various DTS titles - this 3 disk set is a welcome addition for all Who fans. Some of these tracks are being heard for the 1st time anywhere! Comment from a fan: Thanks so much! I can't believe disks like these really exist. I've been a OO fan for many years and have never heard these before. More>

Purple Heart's and Power Chords (1965-1969) (2 DVD) - Review: AMG
Before this release, several other DVDs had compiled 1960s Who footage, with varying degrees of success.

It's difficult however to imagine a better, more comprehensive one than this two-DVD collection, which assembles almost four hours of live, mimed, promo, interview, and documentary clips from various sources. The image and sound quality are usually as good as, or better than, what's seen or heard on those previous compilations, and most of clips appear in the most complete form known to exist.

There are a wealth of riches here, from relatively common items such as their 1965 Ready Steady Go and Richmond Jazz Festival appearances to some little-seen sequences such as their mimed June 1966 appearance on the Swedish Popside show; a live July 1966 London college gig, including a not-too-audible version of "C.C. Rider"; the Monterey Pop film outtake "Pictures of Lily"; live and interview footage from Helsinki, Finland, in May 1967; and promotional films for Tommy, linked by a few interview segments in which Pete Townshend explains the songs.

There's even the U.S. promo film for "Substitute," in which they mimed the amended lyrics (omitting the reference to a black father) in the American 45 version. It doesn't gather every last scrap of 1960s Who footage: there's nothing from their Woodstock appearance, and their famous violent performance of "My Generation" on The Smothers Brothers in 1967. It is an amazing document, and totals up to the most convincing evidence ever assembled as to the Who's mesmerizing power as a visual performance act.
"See Me, Hear Me" (Audience Masters) (2CD) - 1975 Who rock'in the great North East.
An exciting new series by "See Me" has just been released featuring lost concerts of some of the greatest groups of all time. These recordings are so good, they rival soundboards! Impossible you say? You ain't heard noth'in yet.

Disk 1: 01 I Can't Explain, 02 Substitute, 03 My Wife, 04 Baba O'Riley, 05 Squeezebox, 06 Behind Blue Eyes, 07 Dreaming From The Waist, 08 Boris The Spider, 09 Magic Bus, 10 Amazing Journey, 11 Sparks, 12 The Acid Queen, 13 Fiddle About, 14 Pinball Wizard, 15 I'm Free,

Tales From The Who - One of The Who's best known, loved and cherished live performances on record!
Review: A sell-out crowd of nearly 20, 000 attended and were simply blown away! Fast, furious and at times tender were all brought to the stage while every fan took home memories of what they had just witnessed. It's a one of a kind experience!

Tracks: 1. I Can't Explain, 2. Summertime Blues, 3. My Generation, 4. I Am The Sea, 5. The Real Me, 6. I'm One, 7. Sea And Sand, 8. Drowned, 9. Bell Boy, 10. Dr. Jimmy, 11. Pinball Wizard, 12. See Me, Feel Me, 13. Won't Get Fooled Again..

The Genuine Scoop (5CD) - Review Hotwacks: Billed as home studio recordings from 1965-1975, this set is a pretty monumental collection of Townsend's demos. A quick glance imparts that this collection very nicely supercedes a series of releases, both underground and sanctioned. As any Who fan knows, Townsend's home demos make for fascinating listening - many of the arrangements, licks, and even vocal phrasing is already present on these rougher takes. Add to that a sort of home-made funkiness and you have a set of recordings that stack up very well against their more familiar later, full-band versions.

The High Numbers Live 1964 (2CD) (Yellow Dog) - Review: One of the earliest live recordings of the band, still known then as The High Numbers. These disks are a very rare glimpse from the period when they played primarily rhythm and blues covers and the lack of an audience, as well as the presence of more than one version of a couple of tunes, seems to corroborate that this show was being recorded for promotional purposes.
Pete has leaked out this sort of stuff on the SCOOP collections for some time but those have always been piecemeal - one
track from here, another ten years later, instrumentals next to unreleased songs. This collection is wonderfully focused, chronological and in pretty strong fidelity though some digi-noise is present. The thrill of having these cuts in one place and in a reasonable order is indescribable. Sound quality is pretty consistent, the material is endlessly engaging.

The Tommy Demos - Excellent disk from "Yellow Dog " of Pete's Tommy demos. Pete plays all the instruments and some versions very differently than the commercial release of the original rock opera. Comment from a fan: Words can't describe how truly great this disk is! This is a must for all Who fans! Simply Fantastic. Song for song, this is the best Peter Townsend solo album. His musicianship on guitar, bass, keyboards and drums is very impressive. A must have!

Johnny Winter:
Johnny's earth shattering 1979 performance at the ROCK-PALAST, Germany in April, 1979
(PRO-Shot)(120 Minute) (VHS transfer; tape drag at times)

Burning The Blues in Stockholm (Feb 1971) - One of the best soundboards to emerge from the European leg of Johnny's tour from the early 70's. It's a short play list but some tremendously long jams are included. If you're a budding guitarist or one who loves Blues-Rock played with heart felt emotion - you can't go wrong here.
Tracks: 1. Good Morning Little School Girl 4:26, 2. Rock´n Roll Hootchie Coo 5:24, 3. Be Careful With A Fool > It's My Own Fault 18:10,
4. Jumping Jack Flash 5:18, 5. Great Balls of Fire > Whole Lotta Shaking Going On [fade out] 20:57..
(The) Yardbirds:
BBC Unreleased Gems - The post Clapton era Yardbirds featuring Jeff Beck is considered the pre-Heavy Rock period. Yardbirds #3 guitarist Jimmy Page would help usher in the full blown electric scene with in the year. Still, this is an amazing set of rocking tunes tunes culled from the archives of the BBC. Tracks noted with a ** feature Jimmy Page.

Tracks:
1. Hesitation Blues, 2. Hushabye, 3. I'm A Man, 4. Steeled Blues, 5. Spoonful, 6. I'm Not Talking, 7. I Ain't Done Wrong, 8. Louise, 9. Keep On Trying, 10.Heart Full Of Soul, 11.Jeff's Boogie, 12.I'm A Man #2), 13.Love Me Like I Love You, 14.The Stumble, 15.Train Kept-A-Rollin, 16.Mr. You're A Better Man Than I, 17.Jeff's Boogie #.2), 18.Drinking Muddy Waters* 19.I Wish You Would, 20.White Summer*, 21.I'm Confused*, 22.Think About It*..

Even More Golden Eggs (The Lost Beebs) - See More> See More>>

Little Games Sessions - Excellent tracks from the bands Little Games sessions featuring Jimmy Page.
The direction of the group is harder edged from previous efforts considering what Page (Led Zeppelin) would later create. It's all here, Blues - Rock...the unmistakable sound of the fabulous Yardbirds. (*Source is vinyl + tape) some tape drag.

New York Rehearsal Gig - This title includes the earliest known Zeppelin tune performed by the Yardbirds -
"Dazed and Confused". Page's plan was to continue using the Yardbirds name after the breakup but legal hassles prevented that idea. Solution, form a new band and tour Europe under the guise of the YB's. The plan would come later but catch his Yardbirds trying out a rendition of Zep's classic "Confused". Overall sound is decent for the times it was captured.

Video Anthology - 26 video gems from one of the most influential Invasion groups of all time. Everyone is well aware of the fact that The Yardbird's spawned 3 Super-Star guitarists but the arrangements of the songs was mainly Keith Relf's task. Keith would later form the early 1970's Spacey-Folk group "Renaissance" with his sister. Performances from: UK Television, ShinDig Goes To College, ShinDig, Where The Action is, Hullaballoo, Poll Winners 66, Shiv-a-Ree (U.S.), Blow Up Films, Beat Beat Beat 1966 (Germany), Batoun Rouge (French) and Beat Club..

Neil Young:
Also,
Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, Crosby-Nash, Crosby-Stills and Nash, Crosby-Stills-Nash and Young, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, The Hollies,

Assorted Demos & Rehearsals 1963 - 1984 - A very unbelievable disk that captures Neil from his earliest beginnings to his more commercial side. The demos are very primitive and truly shows the folk side that would later become a perfect blend for Buffalo Springfield.

Track list: * = 1965 Demo
1. *Sugar Mountain, 2. *Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing, 3. *Run Around Babe, 4. *Don't Pity Me Baby, 5. ??, *6. The Rent is Always Due...Buffalo Springfield Demos: 7.

*Radio Show Rehearsals:
Mr. Soul...Everybody's Alone...Dance Dance Dance...Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere...The Losing End...Sugar Mountain..

Chrome Dreams (Rust Edition) - By the end of the summer, Zuma was finished, though still not released. Yet Neil carried on recording his new songs. Sometimes he recorded solo and sometimes with Crazy Horse. Many of these songs would remain unheard by the public until quite a while later but by late ’75, Neil had already written and recorded versions of such future classics as Like A Hurricane, Powder-finger, Sedan Delivery, Pocahontas and Ride By Llama.
Tracks 1 thru 12 of this compilation is the rare unreleased "Chrome Dreams" album, readied for release weeks before Neil recorded these country hoedowns and re-thought his strategy. Some of these song titles will be more than familiar to you, but the actual performances may surprise you.

Track list:
1. Pocahontas, 2. Will To Love, 3. Star of Bethlehem, 4. Like A Hurricane, 5. Too Far Gone, 6. Hold Back The Tears, 7. Homegrown, 8. Captain Kennedy, 9. Stringman, 10. Sedan Delivery, 11. Powderfinger, 12. Look Out For My Love..

Bonus Tracks:
13. River of Pride ('White Line', Unreleased Studio Version, 27 NOV 75), 14. Campaigner (Unedited, Unreleased Studio Version, Summer 1976), 15. No One Seems To Know (Live, Tokyo, Japan, 10 Mar 76), 16. Give Me Strength (Live, Chicago, IL, 15 Nov 76), 17. Peace Of Mind (Live, Chicago, IL, 15 Nov 76), 18. Human Highway (CSNY, Unreleased Studio Version, April 76).

I'm Happy That Y'all Came Down (Dorothy Chandler 1971) - This two-record vinyl boot is exceptional considering the technology of 1971. Neil is talkative and his comedy on "Sugar Mountain" is hilarious. Considered an essential show for any fan that loves Neil. Vinyl sourced from one of the best condition records to survive. This recording has never emerged from a non-vinyl source. 1. On the Way Home, 2. Tell Me Why, 3. Old Man, 4. Journey Through the Past, 5. Cowgirl in the Sand, 6. Heart of Gold, 7. A Man Needs a Maid, 8. Sugar Mountain, 9. Don't Let It Bring You Down, 10. Love in Mind, 11. The Needle and the Damage Done, 12. Ohio, 13. See the Sky About to Rain, 14. I Am a Child, 15. Dance, Dance, Dance..

KUSC-FM, Los Angeles (FM Radio Broadcast) - Very early 1969 low bias audience recording of Neil and Crazy Horse as they perform for the first time in Los Angeles. Kind of unique as the DJ makes reference to the recording and especially of the instrument tuning needing a lot of help. Band includes the original lineup of Crazy Horse (Whitten, Molina and Talbot) Tracks: 1. On he way home (beginning cuts in)..2. I am a child..3. Everybody's alone..4. I believe in you..5. Birds..6. Nowadays, Clancy cant even sing..7. Blank tape..8. Down by the river..9. Wonderin'..10. Band intros and "first time playing in L.A." comment..11. Come on baby, lets go downtown..12. Station ID "mountain tuning" chit chat..13. Cinnamon girl..14. Cowgirl in the sand..15. Everybody knows..16. Winterlong..

Neil Young In Concert (U.K. TV 1971) - Neil getting mellooww. This concert by Neil is absolutely etched in stone as a masterpiece. Just Neil on stage with guitar and piano - making the crowd swoon with delight and appreciation. Heart of Gold, Oldman, Out on The Weekend + More. Filmed at the BBC's television studio (Shepherd's Bush, London)
April 26th, 1971.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse (Aichikan Taiikukan) (Nagoya, Japan) (March 3, 1976) - Excellent 2 disk set by Neil and Crazy Horse performing a wide range of tunes covering "After the Goldrush" and "Harvest" era tracks. The emotion of the passing of Danny Whitten is still present as Neil sings with heartfelt loss.

Disk 1: 1. Tell Me Why..2. Mellow My Mind..3. After The Gold Rush..4. Too Far Gone..5. Only Love Can Break Your Heart..6. A Man Needs A Maid.. 7. No One Seems To Know..8. Heart Of Gold..

Disk 2: 1. Country Home..2. Don't Cry No Tears..3. Down By The River..4. Lotta Love..5. Like A Hurricane..6. The Losing End..7. Drive Back..8. Southern Man..9. Cinnamon Girl..

On The Beach + (Plus) - Review: I heartily recommend this disk. Deeply sad and moving album. Worth it alone for the dark and chilling "Revolution Blues". A great collection of songs, performed with intensity matched only by Tonight's the Night.

Tonight's The Night Acetate (1973-74) - Of all the legendary unreleased Neil Young albums, no LP has received more accolades, criticism or general discussion than "Tonight's The Night". Except for the occasional off-hand remark in an interview with Neil or someone close to him, virtually nothing was known about any of the "many" unreleased versions of the album. Even the often-mention Elliott Roberts stage play version has never been detailed. Here it is, in all its Glory!

Track-list:
1. Tonight's the Night, 2. Mellow My Mind, 3. Roll Another Number, 4. Tired Eyes, 5. Speakin' Out, 6. Walk On, 7. For the Turnstiles, 8. Bad Fog of Loneliness, 9. New Mama, 10. Winter long , 11. Borrowed Tune, 12. Traces..

Buffalo Springfield
The Missing Herd "Livestock" (Vol 1) - Live tracks between 1967-1968. First, most live tracks are never fully realized. Either the bass is too low or some other distraction is present. Not so with this title. Even the mistakes add to the appeal. Neil sings on several tracks and brings with him that special quality that only makes this great disk even better. High Points are the studio chatter between and during the rehearsals. This is one for the ages!

The Byrds: For More titles; see Audiophiles
Unsurpassed Masters (1965) - One of the most influential groups of the magical 1960's to inspire the Folk-Rock sound. Many would follow but none could capture that unique blend of harmony and 12 string arrangements. All Tracks: Columbia Studio's; Hollywood, California.

1. Mr. Tambourine Man (vocals only)..2. You Won't Have To Cry..3. We'll Meet Again.. 4. Mr. Tambourine Man Take 12..5. Mr. Tambourine Man (take 19,20)..6. I Knew I'd Want You (instrumental)..7. It's No Use (alt. take)..8. The Bells Of Rhymney (take 1,2)..9. I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better (take 1,2)..10. It's All Over Now, Baby Blue (take 2,3,4)..11. The World Turns All Around Her (take 14,15)..12. It's All Over Now, Baby Blue (take 7)..13. It Won't Be Wrong (take 5,6,7,18)..14. Satisfied Mind (take 17,18)..15. Set You Free This Time (take 1,2,3,4,18)..
16. Stranger In A Strange Land (take 1,2,9,10)..17. Wait And See (take 23,24,25,26)..18. 5D - Fifth Dimension (take 18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26)..19. I Knew I'd Want You (Clark outtake)..

David Crosby: For More titles; see DTS
(The Alternate) "If I Could Only Remember My Name" (1970) - Crosby fans have long considered the commercial album a masterpiece for its lyrical content and groovy melodies but it's been overlooked for so many years.
The alternate disk is just as powerfully genuine and contains alt, demo tracks most notably "Wooden Ship". (Wally Heider's studio) The resurgence among collectors/fans is a long time coming and hopefully, it'll find a new generation of fans young and old.

Tracks: Music is Love, Cowboy Movie #1, #2, Tampalais High, Laughing, What Are Their Names, Traction In The Rain, Song with No Words, Orleans, I'd Swear There Was Somebody Here, Wooden Ship

The PER&RO Sessions: Review:
A little known piece of San Francisco musical history called the PER&RO sessions, were a collection of tracks recorded at Wally Heider Studios by San Francisco alumni such as David Crosby, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Graham Nash, Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, David Freiberg, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, Neil Young, Jorma Kaukonen, Joni Mitchell, Jack Casady and so many other lesser known but outstanding musicians.

The project entailed recordings that the musicians worked on or would later (hopefully) finalize.
The Majority of tracks unfortunately have never been heard or released commercially.

David Crosby's 1971 release "Name" album is one such session that features the alumni participating in.
It's an excellent overview of the late 1960's early 70's Haight-Asbury musical mood.

Part 1 (4CD) - Tracks:
Disk 1: Jam, Laughing #1, Laughing #2, Jam, Song With No Words, Song With No Words, What Are Their Names, Piano/Viola Jams, Tampalais High, Viloa Jam..

Disk 2: Cowboy Movie, Slide Jam, Kids and Dogs, Eep Hours, Dope Rap, Leather Winged Bat, Jorma and Jerry's Jam, The Wall Song, Jorma and Jerry's Jam, Orleans..

Disk 3: Banjo Instrumental, Wild Turkey, Ghost Riders in The Sky, Winning Boy Blues, The Wall Song, Jam, Motherless Children, The Wall Song, The Wall Song, Pretty As You Feel..

Disk 4: 8 Miles High, Alabama Bound, Cowboy Movie, Cowboy Movie, Everybody's Been Burned, Walking in The Mountains, Is It Really Monday, You Sit There Under Anesthesia, Loser (Garcia's Tune) 1-4, Wayfaring Stranger Over Jordan, The Mountain Song 1-4..

Crosby-Nash
Unreleased Live Album (1974 Mixing Board) - One of the best live recordings to emerge in recent years. It's a wonder who makes the decisions at the various studio's on what is released and what's not? This clearly could have been one such title that any recording exec would have been proud to have in their catalog. Alas, that's an oversight that makes collecting these recordings such a thrill. See why David Crosby and Graham Nash have been collaborating for over 40 years. The magic was definitely caught this evening.

Tracks: 1. Intro, 2. Deja Vu, 3. Lady Of The Island, 4. Prison Song, 5. Carry me, 6. Calley's Song, 7. Sleep Song, 8. King Of The Mountain, 9. Time After Time, 10. Guinnevere, 11. Fieldworker, 12. The Last Whale, 13. Wooden Ships, 14. What Are Their Names, 15. Chicago, 16. Long Time Gone, 17. Crowd appreciation..

Crosby-Stills and Nash
Session Selections - Review: 70 minutes of alternate takes from the sessions that would eventually become the first LP:
It’s like being a fly on the wall in the studio. There's some mind blowing stuff here.

Who knew they recorded a version of “Guinnevere” with drums? Or a version of “Lady Of The Island” with even MORE vocal tracks in the vocal breakdown? Hearing this many genuinely interesting outtakes from such a classic album is a real treat. These songs are the perfect companion-pieces to the debut album for those fans who want to dig a little deeper into the creative process of one of America's finest groups.

Live at Fillmore East (June 6, 1970) (3CD) - One of the truly essential disks to capture the early 1970's by CSN&Y. This is not to say the commercial release is junk but rather that the official release of "4 Way Street" is too well polished and refined that it makes the hazy and magical period of the 60's and 70's seem Sooo clean. If you need a 4 Way fix then this historic true look into how this legendary recording went down is what you've been waiting for.

Disk 1: 1. Suite: Judy Blue Eyes..2. Blackbird..3. On The Way Home..4. Teach Your Children..5. Tell Me Why..6. Triad..7. Guinnevere..8. Simple Man

Disk 2: 1. King Midas In Reverse..2. The Loner, Cinnamon Girl, Down By The River..3. Black Queen..4. 4 + 20..5. 49 Bye-Byes/America's Children..6. Love The One You're With (incomplete with fade-out)..

Disk 3: 1. Pre-Road Dawn..2. Long Time Gone..3. Helplessly Hoping..4. Ohio..5. As I Come Of Age..6. Southern Man 7. Carry On..8. Woodstock..9. Find The Cost Of Freedom.

Five Way Street (2CD) - Comment from a fan: Absolutely essential for all fans of group harmony. If you're from the era of the 70's, singer-songwriter period - then these 38 tracks are what you need. I never realized what a fantastic guitarist Stephen Stills is until these disks surfaced. I believe Atlantic really screwed up by not releasing this one. Rock On!

FreakOut - The ground breaker that shook the Avante Garde chic and the hip L.A. scene the moment it was released in 1966. The times have simmered slightly but the message is clear, listen with an open mind and experience a different mix of sight and sound(s). In 1966, The Beatles were the absolute leader of the British Invasion with so many groups riding their sound and style. Not so with The Mother's! If you want a taste of what the alternative was at the time (or maybe today for that matter) - this is a great opportunity to Freak (it) Out.

Tracks: Hungry Freaks, Daddy, I Ain't Got No Heart, Who Are The Brain Police?, Go Cry On Somebody Else's Shoulder, Motherly Love, How Could I Be Such A Fool, Wowie Zowie, You Didn't Try To Call Me, Any Way The Wind Blows, I'm Not Satisfied, You're Probably Wondering Why I'm Here, Trouble Every Day, Help-I'm A Rock, It Can't Happen Here, The Return Of The Son Of Monster Magnet..

Mono and Acetates (3CD) - The very unique Frank Zappa and The Mothers performing underground classics that all "Mother Lover's" can dig. If you're ready to get your sound buds spinning, weaving and groovin' this is your lucky day for sure. Definitely ahead of his time, Frank pushed the limits of sound, orchestration and the requirements of what Rock N Roll could sound like. See More> See More>>

We're Only In It For The Money - From TF: The uncensored version of We're Only In It for the Money was released for only a brief time in 1968. Ironically, given MGM's disdain for the group's original name, the censored version seems to have been issued with a sticker affixed to the cover of the album itself (immediately over Jimmy Carl Black's head) that simply said "THE MOTHERS".

Review: "Original pressings included the lines "I will love the police as they kick the shit out of me" in the song "Who Needs the Peace Corps?" and "And I still remember Mama with her apron and her pad / feeding all the boys at Ed's Cafe" in the song "Let's Make the Water Turn Black." Later pressings have both of these lines pruned from the tapes.
