A snowy morning in my world. Not much on the ground but it’s very windy and cold. Great day for some Zz Top.
This one was put out in 1973. This copy is all original and in pretty good shape. Sounds amazing. The first two track kind of meld into each other. Apparently the engineer made a mistake when he was cutting the tape and it caused there to be no gap between the songs. The inner photo is of a couple of plates from “Leo’s Mexican joint now closed. Great music and feel on this classic lp.
Aerosmith – Live Bootleg LP
I love a rainy Friday afternoon, hanging out with my honey, looking at records and eating chili.
This is an original 78′ release of this double live gatefold sleeve album. The band didn’t want to put out a live album like its peers at the time which was basically a bands songs, with audience noise dubbed in, lots of filters to clean up the sound to make the live sound clearer. They did it their way by mis labeling the track list, like many true bootlegs got the track listing wrong. They used songs from a couple of different concerts at the time and two cover songs recorded at a live radio broadcast. The album also features a secret live instrumental cover of “Strangers in the Night” following their cover of “Train Kept A-Rollin'”. Great classic Aerosmith at their best.
The Runaways – Live in Japan LP
I slept later than usual today which caused me to wake up with a sore back/stomach. Trying to work it out. Great post today I picked out last night is helping me get my mind off my back and onto something fun. This is a fun post.
The great thing about a cool record is sometimes the record package can be as important as the actual music on the disc. The Runaways had some good songs for sure but this record is really about the package.
Released in Japan in ’77 this live record is a treat for your ears and eyes. Great packaging with, lyric book in English and Japanese, five individual 12×12 color glossy head shots of each band member, a hand written thank you page by each band member, double gatefold jacket that open vertically for a full body shot of the band, and inner foldout with live shots of the band. My copy was released in Canada in ’77. Great songs too.
It was snowing. We needed a sled. One hole drilled in a sheet pan did the trick.
