A few more releases to talk about this week...
02 Jul 2007

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Mountain Of Love Godfather Records CDJoy Division The Youth Club Godfather Records CDThe Rolling Stones Some Kind Of Fashion Godfather Records CD

Just hitting the streets today are the early wave of July '07 releases from The Godfather Records and family of labels...GFR has jumped all over the recent BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND soundboard fragment that was torrented online in June..."Mountain Of Love" 1CD contains 9 tracks recorded live at Philadelphia's Tower Theater on December 31st, 1975 and is taken directly from the 1976 production reels.  Originally thought to be the two-track source from Ed Sciaky, the late Phillie-area DJ, but as it turns out - a multi-track recording was also made on that eventful New Year's Eve.  In early 1976, those tapes were mixed down to stereo for consideration of a live album, which of course never came about.  So!...hoping GFR didn't mess with the awesome presence of the torrented recording and it's a nice transfer to silver disc, we've got a must-have title here gang.  Also out from GFR is a seemingly superfluous but possibly more accessible ROLLING STONES Ft. Worth '78 title called "Some Kind Of Fashion" 2CD(it's gonna be nearly impossible to beat Halcyon's "No Flashes, No Gimmicks" version of the July 18, 1978 stereo soundboard)...IRON MAIDEN "Summerfestival" 1CD is an appropriate title in terms of timing as this June 26, 1981 soundboard is taken from their performance at Milwaukee's Summerfest, which is in it's 2nd week for 2007 right now (Roger Waters is performing tonight)....JOY DIVISION "The Youth Club" 1CD is another soundboard from a March 14, 1979 gig at the Bowden Vale Youth Club in Altrinceham, Cheshire U.K....
