Aerosmith – Live Bootleg Double Live Album

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.

Bad Brains – I Against I

Released in ’86 on SST records this is one of the most influential punk/genre bending records of all time. Combining funk, reggae and punk it is an amazing listen. This is my favorite Bad Brains record. The vocals on the title track amaze and excite me every time I hear it. Pure fury, speed and talent. “Sacred Love” a great song in its own right, is more cool when you factor in the vocals were recorded over a pay phone from prison where H.R. was serving time for a pot charge. The musicianship will astound you, the raw punk feel will amaze you and the vocal craftsmanship will leave you in awe. This is a must have top 10 record for anyone who wants to understand punk at its best.

On a personal note, I got to meet Earl Hudson at a local Atlanta ‘live’ talk show where he was a guest and that I also did the sound design for the show as well…..of course I had some Bad Brains on it but also added some Bad Brains covers.

The Slits – In the Beginning – Picture Disc

Formed in ’76 the Slits were considered avant-garde punk. Their ’79 debut album “Cut” is considered a defining release of the post-punk era. They opened for the Clash on the White Riot tour in ’77 alongside the Buzzcocks. They reformed many times always with Johnny Rottens step daughter, Ari Up on lead vocals. Ari Up died in 2010 shortly after recording a new album with the Slits. This record features a song with Nenah Cherry who joined the group briefly in ’79.

The Sid Vicious Experience – Jack Boots & Dirty Looks

The Sid Vicious Experience – Jack Boots & Dirty Looks – Limited edition white vinyl 87 of 500 printed – Live at the Electric Ballroom 8/15/78

Cool limited colored vinyl of Sids last show in England before heading to America and his untimely death. Glen Matlock on bass. Steve New on guitar. Rat Scabies on drums. Great record. Great inner sleeve.

Iggy Pop – Zombie Birdhouse

Released in 1982, recorded on 16 track at Blank Tape Studios. Chris Stein of Blondie played guitar and produced the record. Clem Burke of Blondie played drums. Many consider this record to be Iggy’s experimental release of the 80’s. Lots of poetic free-associative lyrics/words with droning synthesizers, Afro style beats. Many say this was Iggy’s most ambitious failure but the album has legendary status as an oddity. Glad we own it.

Hank 3 – Ghost to a Ghost/Gutter Town

After Hank got out of his contract with Curb records he released 3 records on the same day. This one is his country release. With guest appearances by Les Claypool, Tom Waits and his dog Trooper. While categorized as a country album, “Ridin the wave” sounds more like a roaring Motorhead song, and on the second disc he creates some freaky Louisiana style Cajun sounds that need to be heard to understand. Gutter Town is my favorite with a beat and lyrics that will stick to your brain like muddy glue. Great packaging with double gatefold cover. Got mine signed by the man himself. Crazy artwork on inner sleeve.

Duane Peters Gunfight – Checkmate

Duane’s last and most current live band, a six piece punk band with dual guitars. Duane sounds great on this release as he does on all his stuff. That signature voice is the mold for punk singers. Nothing else like it. All the songs are stars with no filler. Released on Indian records, Duanes last label co owned by Ponk.

There is nobody out there more punk rock than Duane Peters. Professional skateboarder known as ‘The Master of Disaster’ who has invented several tricks, leader of the US Bombs, Exploding Fuck Dolls, Die Hunns, Political Crap and Gunfight, shoe designer, clothing maker, and all around cool mother fucker. Best concert ever when we saw the US Bombs in Atlanta in 2006.

Kurt Cobain – Montage of Heck – The Home Recordings

Forget the reviews, this is a cool record. Nice heavy 180gram vinyl with great packaging. If you haven’t seen the documentary you should. Very cool shit.
