...Misterclaudel has announced two new PAUL McCARTNEY & WINGS releases to hit channels shortly.  They are "Birds On The Wings" 2CD (pictured above), which features a pair of audience tapes from August 1, 1972 at K.B. Hallen in Denmark and August 22nd, 1972 in Antwerp, Belgium...and, "Wings Multi Tracks" 2CD (below) presents alternate takes of 'Hi Hi Hi', 'Junior's Farm' and 'Jet' on disc 1, 'Band On The Run' along with what is referred to as the 'Twin Freaks Production Acetate' with the Mark Haefeli Tapes: Darkroom, Lalula, Long Haired Lady (Reprise), Maybe I'm Amazed - Momma Miss America, Mumbo, Really Love You, Rinse The Raindrops, Temporary Secretary, What's That You're Doing...

...Wardour's next pair of releases surely promise to deliver!...ROBERT PLANT "Swing And Sway" 4CD set is comprised of two stunning audience recordings from Festival Hall in Osaka on February 20, 1984 and February 22, 1984 at Nagoya-shi Kokaido, Aichi, Japan...these shows should be a real treat as Robert is flanked by an incredible band...Also from Wardour comes QUEEN "Breathtaking Beauty" 2CD which apparently leverages a recently shared 81-minute master audience tape (incomplete) that was recorded from the front row of the Boston Garden on February 9, 1977...very sweet, and there's a bonus, limited CDR "Multitracks Sampler" as well!  Arriving shortly on the Shades Label is JUDAS PRIEST "Fast And Furious" 2CD, a February 13, 1984 show from The Budokan in Japan recorded perfectly from an advantageous position in the audience...

...Scheduled for delivery later this week (March 19th) are 3 new DVD titles from Apocalypse Sound...BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN "Elvis Costello Presents Spectacle With...", which pairs up a pair of broadcasts of a taping at The Apollo Theater in New York City on September 27, 2009 - the broadcasts aired January 20th & 27th, 2010 and capture Springsteen and E Streeters running through various numbers with ELVIS COSTELLO & THE IMPOSTERS....THE ROLLING STONES "Tour of The Americas '75" serves up another transfer of the proshot video of their L.A. Forum performance on June 11, 1975...MICHAEL JACKSON "The Royal Concert" captures his July 16, 1996 concert in Brunei at Jerudong Park Amphitheater in Bandar Seri Begawan in proshot quality...

...Also arriving March 19th to market are 8 new CD titles from The Godfather Records...FRANK ZAPPA "Live At Leroy Theater" 2CD is an excellent audience recording of the early show from The Leroy Theater in Pawtucket, Rhode Island on October 27, 1976...ROGER WATERS & THE BLEEDING HEART BAND "London Rehearsals" 2CD contains soundboard tapes of the rehearsals for the Berlin Wall show, recorded in London on May 2, 1990...BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND "Into The River We Dive" 3CD is another soundboard tape, this one capturing stellar performance by the ESB at Madison Square Garden on November 8, 2009...THE BEATLES "Transcending Time - Live" 1CD reissues another stab at the infamous Apple Studios rooftop concert on January 30, 1969, supplemented with Glyn Johns' first master tape compilation of the 'Get Back' session mixes...QUEEN "God Knows What I'm Doing" 2CD is another Boston Music Hall performance, this one a year earlier than Wardour's title, the excellent audience recording was captured on January 30, 1976...U2 "Bavarian Schnaps" 2CD utilizes an excellent audience recording of the band live at Olympiahalle in Munich, Germany on July 21, 1987...ELVIS PRESLEY "The King Has Returned" 1CD presents a soundboard tape of his August 3, 1969 Dinner Show at Las Vegas International Hotel...KISS "The Greatest Show On Earth" 1CD is another soundboard tape, this one skimmed from their June 11, 1978 Lakeland, Florida concert...

...And finally, a couple of other mentions to pass along...Dog N Cat Records' next ROLLING STONES offering is sadly, another reissue, "Lonely At The Top" 1CD of stereo soundboard outtakes from 1974-75 duplicating the long out of print Swingin' Pig disc, making the argument for a fresh version to circulate I guess...and, OASIS "Anatomiasis" 2CD features session outtakes of "Rock N Roll Star" on disc one, "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back In Anger" on disc two, served up from the Whiteleys Label...and that's it!  Thanks for stopping in and have a great week...
