...Over the course of the Summer/Early Fall 2010, a series of superbly recorded concert tapesfrom the archive of East Coast taper Dan Lapinski - from the  from mid-late 70's, early 80's were methodically shared via Bit Torrent on the interenet. They are really great and nicely transferred digitally for the masses to stream at will. This week, two of those concert recordings were released from Virtuoso...above is YES "Master Of Light" 2CD, recorded at The Boston Garden on August 12, 1977...below, EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER "Legacy" 2CD from the same Boston Garden on February 4, 1978...check out the guys' work!...wonderful...

...Look for this new COZY POWELL "Back To Win" disc to hit the channels shortly, it comes to light via non-label producers and features rehearsals circa 1992 for 'The Drums Are Back Tour', which didn't actually come to be, and the tape here is said to be superb...

...As teased on the way in, here are some great looking box sets from BFB set to circulate through the ranks starting this week...Also on the way are some BEATLES Vinyl Boxes from the Red Apple Label: "The Real Alternate Sgt. Pepper's Album is a 5LP/4CD compilation while, "The Real Alternate Abbey Road Album" is a 4LP/3CD package...

...Thanks for stopping in to get caught up this week, we sure hope you all enjoy the holiday season as it cranks up a few notches over the next 10 days...Have a great one!
