Pink Floyd - Amsterdamse Bos Free Concert 26 June 1971

Pink Floyd - Amsterdamse Bos Free Concert 26 June 1971 - 2021

Legendary rock band Pink Floyd has quietly released a treasure trove of 12 live albums on streaming services. The band hasn’t publicly commented on the recordings, all of which document its early ‘70s golden age period.

On Dec. 10, a commenter on a Pink Floyd fan site first posted about the recordings being dropped. All of the albums boast a copyright of Pink Floyd Music Ltd. It’s possible the British band is taking a similar strategy from artists like the Beach Boys, Beatles, and Bob Dylan - all of whom have issued collections as a form of copyright protection, adhering to a 2011 change in European law.

A rep for Sony told Rolling Stone back in 2013, “The copyright law in Europe was recently extended from 50 to 70 years for everything recorded in 1963 and beyond. With everything before that, there's a new 'Use It or Lose It' provision. It basically said, 'If you haven't used the recordings in the first 50 years, you aren't going to get any more.’”

To give an example of the provision: in 2012, Bob Dylan released a collection of limited-edition outtakes from 1962. If he had waited to release the collection, his recordings would have become public domain. Therefore, Dylan's label pressed roughly 100 copies and distributed them to stores in France, Germany, Sweden, and the U.K.

Pink Floyd likely released the EP 1965: Their First Recordings in 2015 because of the "Use It or Lose It" provision as well. The recordings later resurfaced in the band’s Early Years box set.

All of the concerts from Pink Floyd's new live albums occurred between 1970 and 1972. During that period, the band released: Atom Heart Mother (1970), Meddle (1971), and Obscured by Clouds (1972). Since the band began playing songs from Dark Side of the Moon prior to its release, one recording - a March 1972 Tokyo gig - features a near-complete performance of that LP in sequence.

James Gang - Stoned Moses (Live Ohio)

James Gang - Stoned Moses (Live Ohio) - 2021

From Wikipedia

James Gang was an American rock band formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1966.[2] The band went through a variety of line-up changes until they recorded their first album as a power trio consisting of Joe Walsh (guitars, lead vocals), Tom Kriss (bass) and Jim Fox (drums). Dale Peters replaced Kriss on bass for the band's second and third albums. Two of the band's songs, "Funk #49" and "Walk Away", continue to be popular on classic rock and AOR stations. In late 1971, Walsh left to pursue a solo career and would later join the Eagles. The band carried on with a number of other guitarists and lead singers to replace Walsh, but failed to produce a hit song over the course of six more studio albums, and broke up in 1977. Several incarnations have reformed for reunions since then.

Earl Slick - Fist Full of Devils

Earl Slick - Fist Full of Devils - 2021

from loudersound.com

Earl Slick’s niche in rock history is assured after a career involving epochal work with David Bowie and playing with artists ranging from John Lennon to the New York Dolls. His first solo album for 18 years is an instrumental set that eschews starry guests and lets his fingers do the talking. 

Happily in thrall to the blues, with nods to Link Wray and Buddy Guy, it’s unapologetically retro, mainly sticking to those 12-bars like they’re the only ones in town. (Lost and Emerald see him shift briefly to acoustic introspection.)

Approach this as a Thin White Duke fan and you’ll be frustrated by its disinterest in drama and its rigid roots-hugging. That said, a sleazy, sinister undertow drives Black, while Vanishing Point extends elegantly into the distance. 

Elementary pianos jab as Slick unleashes his tricks, displaying the beautiful scars of a lifetime mastering his own Lucilles. Still ‘bending sound’.

Mountain - Live in The 70s

Mountain - Live in The 70s  - 2021

From velvetthunder.co.uk

Ah, Mountain! Too often forgotten, apart from perhaps their much-covered Mississippi Queen and Nantucket Sleighride – the track which became known to almost everyone in the UK (even if they didn’t know what it was) as the dynamic theme tune to the long-running current affairs TV show Weekend World. In actual fact, there was much more to Mountain’s output than those ‘hits’, largely due to the inspired contrasting of guitarist Leslie West, with his wounded-bear bellow of a voice, with the much more smoothly melodic vocals of bassist Felix Pappalardi. They tended to sing their own compositions in the main, and the contrast both of singing and writing styles gave them similarities to the Lennon – McCartney dynamic, and as a precurser to Hodgson and Davies in Supertramp. It was this juxtaposition of the two which made Mountain’s all too brief early ’70s peak (you knew I would make that pun, I got it out of the way early) so exciting. Reformations in the ’80s and beyond without Pappalardi (who was shot dead by his wife Gail in 1983) were still good, but lacked the magic of the golden formula. During the band’s existence they put out two live albums – the brilliant if criminally short The Road Goes Ever On in 1972 (35 minutes only) and the later double Twin Peaks, an almost quintessential release, although sadly without drummer Corky Laing and original keyboardist Steve Knight. Those albums show a tantalisingly brilliant band in the live environment, capable of lengthy Cream-esque jamming (Nantucket Sleighride on Twin Peaks runs to 32 minutes and occupies two entire sides of vinyl!), so any appearance of live recordings from the era are extremely welcome.

This particular release contains two shows over three discs, the first two from a show on New Years’s Eve 1971 (venue unspecified) with the third coming from a Capitol Theatre show in 1974. By the time of the latter recording the band were without Knight (he had been replaced by rhythm guitarist David Perry), and had recorded the final studio recording with Pappalardi, the patchy and poorly received Avalanche. It is of no surprise therefore that the real gold here lies in these first two discs, as the show captured herein is something of a lost treasure, well recorded and often sublimely performed. The first opens with five West tracks, coming out of the traps with heavy, hard rocking intent, and the renditions of Don’t Look Around (from the second album Nantucket Sleighride) and Mississippi Queen are absolutely exceptional. Pappalardi’s lengthy, and more subtle, Silver Paper (also captured on Twin Peaks memorably) brings the disc to its end, apart from a West guitar showcase to close.

The second disc contains more Pappalardi genius with a superb and unusually concise Nantucket Sleighride and a stellar version of Travelling In The Dark, while there is also a welcome appearance of the track The Animal Trainer And The Toad, penned wittily around a rather harsh nickname bestowed upon the pair by a journalist (the slim, moustachioed Pappalardi was the animal trainer, and the sizeable bulk of West made him the toad). There is also another very welcome addition not present on either of the aforementioned live albums, in the shape of Pappalardi’s beautifully textured Woodstock-inspired piece For Yasgur’s Farm, though it must be pointed out that a bizarre error in the packaging lists this track as Theme For An Imaginary Western (*) , a regular stage favourite which unusually is not present anywhere on this collection. This is something which really should be corrected, certainly if there is a second pressing, as Theme… is such a popular track that buyers could be left rather unhappy, despite the excellence of Yasgur’s Farm. Leaving that aside, however, we steam to the end with a pulverising Blood Of The Sun and a 23-minute Dreams Of Milk And Honey, which does admittedly try the patience a little, especially climaxing as it does in a six-minute drum solo, though also contains some superb ensemble improvisation. Being New Year’s Eve, a short Auld Lang Syne from West on guitar closes things. The sound is extremely good throughout the recording, making this one essential for the fan.

Disc three, from 1974, is however very much the poor relation in such illustrious company. Far from being a full recording, the only Mountain staples are Never In My Life, Mississippi Queen and an eleven minute Nantucket Sleighride, which does suffer from the lack of keyboards in the band at this point. Elsewhere we get a version of a song also covered by Iron Butterfly, Get Out Of My Life Woman, short instrumental It’s For You and a perfunctory closing run through Roll Over Beethoven and Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On. Oh, and a short West solo showcase, which features him playing Jungle Bells, in case you had ever yearned for such a thing. There are some very good parts scattered throughout these tracks, but the sound quality is not as good as the earlier show, and the extra guitar with no keyboards lends a heavier but less textured sound overall. Most bizarrely, after the aforementioned rock and roll numbers closing the show, there is an extra ten minute track from the Fillmore East in 1970 tacked on. Great, you may think. Wrong, you will soon say, on discovering that it is in fact a ten minute drum solo. Nothing else, just a ten minute unaccompanied drum solo and ‘Ladies And Gentlemen, Corky Laing’. Why on earth this was chosen when such regularly played classics as …Imaginary Western or Crossroader are absent is baffling in the extreme!

Overall this is certainly a recording which any Mountain aficionado (or even casual fan to be honest) should own. The first two discs see to that. The way I would advise looking at it is as a double live recording with a ‘bonus disc’. That certainly makes the content entirely satisfactory. Now that West and Pappalardi are both departed (along with Steve Knight also), there will be no more Mountain manifestations in the future, but while this evidence of their quality exists, you can remember them this way.

Leigh Stephens - Red Weather

Leigh Stephens - Red Weather - 1969

Red Weather was the first solo project from the lead guitarist of Blue Cheer. Originally released on the Phillips/Mercury label in 1969, the album immediately became a favorite on the underground music scene and established Stevens as a solo act. 

The music on Red Weather was dramatically different than that of Blue Cheer, with a well structured psychedelic sound like Quicksilver or the Grateful Dead rather than the sledgehammer hard rock sound of his former band. 

Recorded in England at the Trident Studios with the help of Nicky Hopkins on keyboards, drummer Mick Waller from the Jeff Beck Group, and Kevin Westlake from Blossom Toes, the album was hailed as a masterpiece by many British rock fans but was equally dismissed by Blue Cheer fans. The album contained eight songs that highlighted Stevens songwriting ability rather than his guitar prowess

Live 1966 is a live album by British rock group Small Faces, initially released on 4 June 2021, becoming the first release on drummer Kenney Jones Nice Records. The album is a remastered soundboard recording of the Small Faces 9 January 1966 performance at the Twenty Club in Mouscron, Belgium.

The material on the album was initially released with a book called Smalls in 2017. However, as Jones wanted to minimize bootlegging he started Nice Records and acquired the original tapes from the performance. Presented here are several recordings the group never recorded in studios. It received primarily positive reviews upon release.

David Cross – The Big Picture

David Cross – The Big Picture - 1992 (RE 1999)

David CROSS is perhaps most known as a former violin player with KING CRIMSON. He recorded five albums together with them 1972-1974. This is a re-release of his solo album "The Big Picture", originally released in 1992, and a new, previously unreleased track, "Nurse Alone". The music is reminiscent to his former band-mates KING CRIMSON as well as PINK FLOYD and John WETTON, with David's violin in the spotlights. The highlights are the opening "Nurse Insane", "Christine", the instrumental "Minaret", "Black Ice", the instrumental "Sundays", the complex "Grinfixer", "Holly and Barbed Wire" and the closing instrumental "Nurse Alone". This album is equal to "Exiles" (1997) but in a different way. "Exiles" is interesting because of the many great guest performances by Robert FRIPP, Peter HAMMILL and John WETTON. "The Big Picture" because it is more like a band effort. Both albums have excellent song writing.

Lou Gramm – Questions And Answers (The Atlantic Anthology 1987-1989)

Lou Gramm – Questions And Answers (The Atlantic Anthology 1987-1989) - 2021

from POPCULTUREBEAST

Foreigner lead singer Lou Gramm is one of rock’s greatest vocalists and fans of his solo work will want to pick up Cherry Reds Records just released “Questions & Answers: Atlantic Anthology 1987-1989” collection.

The just released 3 CD set is a must for any classic rock music fan as it offers Gramm’s two Atlantic solo albums remastered and sounding more vital than ever.

The first disc offers up 1987’s “Ready Or Not” and features one of the 80’s best songs of all-time “Midnight Blue.” Other killer tracks include “Time,” “Arrow Thru Your Heart” and the blistering title track “Ready Or Not.” Joining Lou on the album are his brother Ben Gramm on drums, Bruce Turgon (Shadow King, Foreigner) on bass and guitar legend Nils Lofgren (The E Street Band).

Next up is disc 2 and Lou’s 1989 follow-up “Long Hard Look” featuring the hit single “Just Between You And Me” written by Gramm and hitmaker Holly Knight. This album also produced a second single “True Blue Love” plus the infectious album opener “Angel With A Dirty Face” and a cover of the Small Faces classic “Tin Soldier” sung as only Lou Gramm could sing it. Nils Lofgren is back on guitar as is Def Leppard’s Vivian Campbell.

The set is rounded out with disc 3 which includes Lou’s killer track “Lost In The Shadows” from the horror classic “The Lost Boys.” This song has never appeared on a Lou Gramm album so it’s great to finally have it as part of “Questions & Answers: Atlantic Anthology 1987-1989.” Other bonus tracks include 5 remixes and a 23 minutes promo radio interview from back when Lou was promoting his solo works.

The Town Criers - Live in San Francisco (feat. Marty Balin)

The Town Criers - Live in San Francisco (feat. Marty Balin) - 2007

from AMG

San Francisco-based folk quartet the Town Criers, who played around the American West during 1963 and 1964, have tended to be remembered as a footnote in the career of group member Marty Balin because he went on to found Jefferson Airplane, sing with Jefferson Starship, and have a successful solo career. 

The group never issued any recordings during its brief existence, but more than 40 years after the fact, mail-order firm Collectors' Choice Music issued this half-hour live performance, which aural evidence suggests was recorded at San Francisco State College in 1963. It shows the Town Criers to be a talented act in the commercial folk vein of the Kingston Trio, that is, with the addition of a female singer, Jan Ellickson, who sounds like Joan Baez. 

The group's repertoire consists of originals written by Balin as well as fellow group members Bill Collins and Larry Vargo, but they are so traditional in form ("Virgin Mary" is a spiritual, "99 Years to Go" is a chain-gang song) that they might as well be taken out of an old songbook. The revelation for those who purchase the album curious about Balin's pre-Jefferson Airplane days will be his demeanor. 

For much of his career, Balin has come off as shy and aloof, but with the Town Criers, thumping a string bass, the then-21-year-old singer serves as the comic MC (the role traditionally taken by the bass player in folk and country groups if only, as he notes, because somebody has to entertain the audience while the guitarists and banjo players are tuning their instruments for the next number). A frisky, joking Marty Balin is not what most fans would have expected, but that's what he was with the Town Criers. 

When he isn't telling jokes, however, Balin sounds much as he did in later configurations, his elastic tenor lending force and emotion to the otherwise pedestrian and derivative material and playing off well against his fellow singers, just as it would in Jefferson Airplane. If the Town Criers had come along earlier in the folk boom, say in 1960 instead of 1963, it is conceivable that they might have achieved national recognition. They remain a footnote, but this recording will have interest both to folk fans and to Marty Balin fans.

Trevor Burton – Long Play

Trevor Burton – Long Play - 2018

Trevor Burton co-founder of iconic British psychedelic sixties band The Move - releases his first solo album, Long Play. 

Long Play features 11 tracks, including 2 songs penned by Trevor as well as interpretations of 9 modern classics, and classics yet to be discovered: tunes from contemporary songwriters like Vic Chesnutt, John Vanderslice, Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel, John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats and more. 

The album is carefully curated and arranged by Trevor to reflect the world he sees today. Stripped down to its bare essence, Long Play is a painfully honest album that transcends generational divides. Each performance is acoustic, raw and naked, a stark departure from Trevor’s legendary electric blues and heavy rock style, but as natural and honest as a set of performances can be. Each song is unmistakably 

Trevor Burton, both classic and new at once. Culminating a long career and all the lessons learned from a lifetime of rock and roll – from the Move to Balls, Pink Fairies and the Steve Gibbons Band - Long Play is an album about today

Moe Tucker - Dogs Under Stress

Moe Tucker - Dogs Under Stress - 1994

Maureen Ann "Moe" Tucker (born August 26, 1944, in Levittown, New York) is a musician best known for having been the drummer for the rock group the Velvet Underground. Tucker first began playing the drums at age 19. When she was asked to join the Velvet Underground, Tucker had dropped out of Ithaca College and was working for IBM as a keypunch operator. The band's original percussionist, Angus Maclise, had left in November 1965 because he felt the band sold out when it took a paying gig. Tucker was drafted because Velvets guitarist Sterling Morrison remembered her as the younger sister of one of his college friends who played the drums. Tucker was frequently noted for her androgynous appearance.

Tucker's style of playing was unconventional. She played standing up rather than seated (for easier access to the bass drum), using a simplified drum kit of tom toms, a snare drum and an upturned bass drum, playing with mallets rather than drumsticks. She rarely used cymbals; she claimed that since she felt the purpose of a drummer was simply to "keep time", cymbals were unnecessary for this purpose and drowned out the other instruments.

Apart from drumming, Tucker sang co-lead vocals on three Velvet Underground songs: the acoustic guitar number "After Hours" and the strange poem set to music "The Murder Mystery", both from 1969's The Velvet Underground album, as well as "I'm Sticking with You", a song recorded in 1969 but left (officially) unreleased until it appeared on the 1985 outtakes compilation VU. Lou Reed said of "After Hours" that it was "so innocent and pure" that he could not possibly sing it himself. In the early days, Tucker also occasionally played the bass guitar during live gigs

Andy Newman (ex Thunderclap Newman) - Rainbow (Re-POST)

Andy Newman - Rainbow - 1972

Andy "Thunderclap" Newman (born November 21 1942, died March 20 2016) was a jazz pianist and founder member of Thunderclap Newman, a cobbled together session band whose anthemic Something in the Air was the surprise hit of the summer of 1969.

The band, who went by Newman’s school nickname, was formed by Pete Townshend, guitarist with The Who, and the music impresario Kit Lambert to demo tracks written by the singer/drummer John “Speedy” Keen, Townshend’s occasional chauffeur.

Townshend recruited Newman, a pipe-smoking GPO telephone engineer whom he had known at art school, to play keyboards and Jimmy McCulloch, a 15-year-old Glaswegian guitarist, who later played in Paul McCartney’s Wings. Townshend himself played bass, under the name Bijou Drains, on their only album, Hollywood Dream.

Performing in a trilby, spectacles, braces and bow tie, the bearded Newman provided a dapper counterpoint to his younger long-haired bandmates. He looked like a professor taking his students on a class outing. On his barrelhouse piano, however, he delivered a stomping Dixieland bridge for Something in the Air that blended perfectly with his bandmates’ psychedelic rock.

Yvonne Elliman - Food of Love

Yvonne Elliman - Food of Love - 1973

Yvonne Elliman had a brief moment in the spotlight during the middle of the '70s, yet she appeared on many of the decade's biggest hits as a backing singer. While she was in high school in Hawaii, she sang in a group called We Folk. She moved to London in 1969 and began singing at the Pheasantry folk club, located on Kings Road in Chelsea. It was here that songwriters Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice discovered her. The duo offered her the role of Mary Magdalene in their new rock opera, Jesus Christ Superstar; the role brought her instant fame. Elliman played the Magdalene character in the film version of Superstar, for which she won a Golden Globe award; it also gave her a hit with "I Don't Know How to Love Him." The hit single became the title of her debut album, which was released in 1972.

Pete Townshend helped Elliman prepare her second album, 1973's Food of Love. During this time, she appeared in the American production of Jesus Christ Superstar on Broadway, where she met Bill Oakes, the president of RSO Records; the two married soon afterwards. Oakes introduced her to Eric Clapton, inviting her to sing backup vocals on "I Shot the Sheriff." Elliman became part of the guitarist's band afterwards; she stayed with him for five years.

She joined RSO's roster in 1975, releasing the Steve Cropper-produced Rising Sun. Barry Gibb and Robin Gibb wrote the title song for Elliman's next album, 1976's Love Me; the song became a U.K. hit, paving the way for her greatest chart success, the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. The Bee Gees wrote several songs on the soundtrack specifically for Elliman, including the number one single "If I Can't Have You." She never followed through on the song's success -- she released two more albums before becoming solely a session musician.

Food of Love is a 1973 album by Yvonne Elliman, produced by Rupert Hine, released on Purple Records in England and MCA Records in America.

Yvonne Elliman arrived in London from Hawaii having graduated from college, and was cast by Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice in their musical Jesus Christ Superstar. Her big song in the rock opera, "I Don't Know How To Love Him", made her a star, and the song is referred to in a song on this album, "I Don't Know How to Love Him Blues", written by David MacIver and Rupert Hine. Musicians who appear on Food of Love include keyboardist Peter Robinson, bass player John Gustafson, guitarists Caleb Quaye and Mick Grabham, and also Pete Townshend of The Who (Elliman covers their debut hit "I Can't Explain" on the album). Elliman also covers Robbie Robertson's "The Moon Struck One" from Cahoots. A song by the, at the time, virtually unknown Jim Steinman, "Happy Ending", also appears.

Glenn Hughes - The Official Bootleg Box Set Volume Two - 1993-2013

Glenn Hughes - The Official Bootleg Box Set Volume Two - 1993-2013 - 2019

He’s been hailed “The Voice Of Rock”, and for good reason, as this 6 CD live box set happily testifies. With vocals soaked in blues and soul, but above all ROCK, Glenn Hughes has performed with many rock legends, including Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Hughes-Thrall, Trapeze and Black Country Communion. Despite his huge talents as a musician and as a songwriter, the 80s were relatively quiet era for Glenn, something that has been more than made up for in his much more prolific 90s, noughties and beyond.

Spanning two decades, Disc One kicks this set off with “Incense And Peaches: From The Archives Volume 1”, an interesting and unusual set of demos and works in progress. Originally released in 2000 through Glenn’s own Pink Cloud Records, it was a collection of previously unreleased songs covering more laid back, pop and soul sounds rather than hard rock.

Glenn has always had a major following in Scandinavia, and this collection has no less than three shows recorded in Sweden, starting with his June 1993 show at the Blitz Nightclub in Borlänge on Disc Two. A belting take on Deep Purple’s ‘Burn’ is followed by ‘Muscle And Blood’ originally recorded by the short lived, but much loved Hughes Thrall. Glenn’s first major band Trapeze are also revisited with ‘You Are The Music’ and ‘Coast To Coast’. At the time Glenn was supporting his latest album, “L.A. Blues Authority Volume II: Glenn Hughes – Blues”, from which ‘A Right To Live’ and ‘So Much Love To Give’ were taken. But it wouldn’t be a Glenn show without revisiting some more Deep Purple classics, with ‘This Time Around’, ‘Gettin’ Tighter’, ‘You Keep On Moving’ and ‘Smoke On The Water’ featured.

Disc Three was captured three months later at Gothenburg’s Zoo Club. Opening with ‘The Liar’ from the as yet unreleased “From Now On” album, the set also includes a cover of Hughes Thrall’s ‘I Got Your Number’, Purple’s ‘This Time Around’, ‘Gettin´ Tighter’ and ‘You Keep On Moving’, as well as blues standard ‘The House Of Rising Sun’. This disc is rounded off with five tracks at Glasgow’s Cathouse in November 1995, including ‘Big Time’ and ‘Talkin’ To The Messiah’ from that year’s “Feel” solo record.

Glenn was back in Sweden for a show at Gino’s in Stockholm in November 1996, spread across Discs Four and Five, kicking off with Trapeze’s ‘Way Back To The Bone’ and ‘Touch My Life’. ‘Push!’ was taken from the previous year’s “Feel”, with ‘Cover Me’, ‘Talk About It’ and ‘I Don’t Want To Live That Way Again’ originally appearing on 1996’s “Addiction” album. A cover of Ozzy’s ‘Goodbye To Romance’ followed by the self-explanatory ‘12-Bar Blues’, both recorded in 1992, are added bonuses to complete Disc Five.

We jump ahead to May 2013 for a firey show captured at the Crossroads Club in Rome, with no less than seven Mk3 and Mk4 Deep Purple classics aired; ‘Stormbringer’, ‘Might Just Take Your Life’, ‘Sail Away’, ‘Mistreated’, ‘Gettin’ Tighter’, ‘You Keep On Moving’, and ending the set with ‘Burn’. Also featured is a cover of ‘Superstition’, written by one of Glenn’s biggest heroes, Stevie Wonder.

Purple Records have reissued expanded collections across Glenn’s solo catalogue, including solo debut “Play Me Out”, “Feel”, “Addiction”, “The Way It Is”, “Return Of Crystal Karma” and “Building The Machine”. Glenn Hughes also appears on the recently reissued 3CD set and 2LP edition of 1974’s “The Butterfly Ball And The Grasshopper’s Feast” by Roger Glover And Friends, also on Purple Records, as well as the “The Official Bootleg Box Set Volume One”.

Whilst every effort has been made to produce the best possible audio, limitations in the material drawn from various, non-standard, and un-official sources means that the quality may not be up to the standard usually expected. All tracks have been included for their historical importance, and to present an anthology of Glenn Hughes live on stage from 1993-2013. The Official Bootleg Box Set Volume 2 is a raw testament to what this very influential artist did best; playing bluesy, soulful hard rock, live on stage, and is drawn from a variety of sources, including mainly recordings that have previously only been available as pirate releases.

The Who - Maximum As & Bs - The Complete Singles (RE-POST)

The Who - Maximum As & Bs  - The Complete Singles - 2017

from AMG

Given the sheer number of Who compilations over the years -- including The Who Hits 50!, a career-capping retrospective that appeared just three years prior to this 2017 box -- it may be easy to cast a cynical eye upon Maximum A's & B's, which it doesn't deserve. For one, there hasn't been a large-scale Who box set since 1994's Thirty Years of Maximum R&B -- most of the comps have been simple hits collections -- and, secondly, the Who benefit from having attention being drawn to their singles. At the dawn of their career, the Who mastered 7" blasts of pop art and even when Pete Townshend toiled over rock operas, he couldn't resist the pull of a 45, releasing non-LP singles as late as 1972 and hiding excellent songs on B-sides along the way. The Who continued to release singles over three-plus decades, using them as calling cards for reunions or samplers of latter-day live albums, and Maximum A's & B's collects them all, give or take a couple of variations in international markets. Its very comprehensiveness can be something of an Achilles Heel, particularly in the late '80s and '90s when the group were cranking out singles from fine but forgettable live albums, but putting the flops and B-sides alongside the weary warhorses winds up reviving the entirety of the Who's catalog. These oddities provide a bracing jolt of context: when they were Mods, they were grooving with the "Batman" theme -- later revived by the Jam in this arrangement -- saluted the Stones once Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were imprisoned, and invented Brit-pop with the flop "Dogs." After Tommy, some of Townshend's best songs found no room on albums -- "The Seeker," "Don't Know Myself," "Let's See Action," "Join Together," and "The Relay" never found a home -- as did a performance as phenomenal as a live 1972 B-side "Baby Don't You Do It," which has never been reissued prior to this collection. But perhaps the real revelation of Maximum A's & B's is how the 21st century reunion wound up producing bittersweet tunes that serve as an effective elegiac coda to their career. Usually, this latter-day material seems like an afterthought, but thanks to the weight of this box, it's given its proper space and helps illustrate just how remarkable the entirety of the Who's career is.

Jeff Simmons – Naked Angels (OST)

Jeff Simmons – Naked Angels (OST) - 1969

From AMG

If rock fans are likely to know the name Jeff Simmons, it's because of his work as bassist in the Mothers of Invention; if they know anything about his obscure solo career, the only album they're likely to know is Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up, issued in the early 1970s. 

But he did a yet more obscure album for Frank Zappa's Straight label, the soundtrack for the equally obscure biker movie Naked Angels, around the same time. As the liner notes to the CD reissue on Fallout laconically observe, it "was never intended to be a masterpiece." Yet by the shaky standards of biker soundtrack/psychedelic exploitation LPs, it's not bad at all; it's definitely one of the better ones, in fact, in this admittedly limited genre. While it's sometimes been described as something of a collection of psychedelic jamming, the mostly instrumental tracks (co-written with producer Randy Steirling) are actually fairly short and focused, the 14 tracks adding up to 36 minutes. If the themes and riffs are on the basic side, they're reasonably effective in projecting drama and menace. 

There's some pretty hot fuzz/distorted psychedelic guitar (particularly on the opening "Naked Angels Theme"), and unlike some biker/psychedelic soundtracks, the LP doesn't get stuck in a rut. "Ride into Vegas" glides into some pretty hip organ soul-jazz, for instance, and there's also '50s style rock & roll ("Vegas Boogie"), mildly Pink Floyd-ish folkie guitar-organ interplay ("End Theme," one of the few vocal cuts, and "Cop Out"), obviously silly psychedelicized Scottish bagpipe music ("Scots Breath"), gothic organ-piano doom ("Tuccata for Truck"), and Zappa-like sound collage ("Bar Dream"). Sure it's mostly for hardcore collectors, but as hardcore collectibles go, it's pretty enjoyable and worthwhile.
