    OKAY Trek safari yesterday

    .
    The Destroyer is a 4 LP set ...no track breaks , on the On Tour LP either
    (duct tape at no extra charge .....$5 for the load)
    *-just noticed band name misspelling on Destroyer-

    also been listening to Stephen Stills & Massive Attack


    * The Destroyer recorded 4-28-77 by Gig,Gena and Cookie Crum
    Made in Brazil by Smilin' Ears Records

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroy...g_recording%29

    The bootleg should not be confused with an audience recording from the following night in Cleveland, sometimes entitled The Destroyer. Though marred by poorer sound quality, and incomplete as a result of using 60min (instead of the longer 90min) cassette tapes for the recording, many critics consider this second performance better than the more famous first Destroyer gig.

    LATER: did find this on the web

    Smilin' Ears distinguished itself by being the first bootleg label to release a four-record Zeppelin box set, titled "Destroyer". The set originally listed as a Seattle recording, though it actually featured a concert from Cleveland in 1977. The set has become one of the best known and loved of all Zeppelin titles and has been reissued many times.

    1977.04.27 Cleveland - Destroyer - The first 1977 SBD to circulate. An early 4 LP version was packaged in a large plastic case. The best available source is a 1st gen reel off the master cassettes. There are some cuts, but this version is the most and the best we have of this show. On the Must Haves list.

    New Trolls - Searching For a Land
    (1972, Cetra)



    Listening to the 2nd LP now, with live performances. some blistering guitar and organ playing.

    Italian progressive rock, this record is a lot of symphonic psychedelic rock experimentation with most tracks sung in English. A huge soundstage, thundering low frequencies.

    Keith Richards - Talk Is Cheap
    (1988, Virgin) STERLING in the deadwax; mastering by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound



    debut solo LP; with Waddy Watchell, Mick Taylor, Chuck Leavell, Bobby Keys, Ivan Neville, Sarah Dash, Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker. Straightahead rock, and this record sounds better to me than a lot of the Stones 80s output.

    Bloodrock - Bloodrock 3
    (1971, Capitol)



    Gritty rock with some prog touches. "Whiskey Vengeance" + a 9+ minute "Breach Of Lease" are highlights.

    Taj Mahal - Oooh So Good 'n Blues
    (1973, Columbia)



    Starts off with "Buck Dancer's Choice" a traditional instrumental track with stunning picking on his National steel-bodied, then it's straightforward blues. Merl Saunders, from the Jerry Garcia Band, plays keyboards here. The Pointer Sisters join in on "Little Red Hen". It's cakewalking good.

    Yeah, what she said! And you got to give side two a chance! I put on the CD, and kind of like the way The Harder They Come play again at the end, just like in the film.

    Saw Jimmy Cliff on his last tour, in San Francisco. He played a bunch of new tunes, but the CD has yet to be released!
