 ...We kick things off this week with a special Blu Ray release courtesy of the producers at Cosmic Energy. LED ZEPPELIN "Mean Business" is a double Blu Ray title that bundles both of their 1979 Knebworth proshot performances on August 4th and 11th in yet another cool little collectible package that comes in a paper bag (ala In Through The Out Door) with a batch of Knebworth 'goodies':
�¿½ Knebworth Button �¿½ Event ticket for both shows �¿½ Mini poster for 8/11/79 �¿½ and the first 20 copies also come with a mini event program
...Cosmic Energy simply does the whole ZEPPELIN treatment right, their transfers and production value on these releases are top notch. Looking forward to getting a peek at what sure appears to be a Knebworth upgrade!...It should certainly be noted and clear that this title is produced on BRD-R and not a 'pressed' product...
 ...Sliding into the weekly mix is a non-label ERIC CLAPTON/STEVE WINWOOD release called "Stage Fright"...the 2CD set contains a superb audience recording of the duo's November 19, 2011 concert at the Yokohama Arena from their current Japanese leg of their co-headlining tour, which has been well received throughout the year, here is your tracklisting for "Stage Fright":

 ...Now we get into the familiar part of the program where we get to unveil the latest in Japanese piggyback releases...these two titles will arrive to market shortly, courtesy of the Shades Label...above, HEART "Leap Night" 2CD capitalizes on an excellent audience recording from the Newcastle City Hall on February 29, 1988 during a swing through the UK, the set comes with the bonus 2CDR "Bad Animals In Tokyo" containing a remastered, superb audience tape from the Olympic Pool in Tokyo on April 1st, 1988...below, WHITESNAKE "Ultimate Sin" is a robust 2CD/DVD set, also with the bonus discs...The main 2CD set delivers a near-perfect audience tape, direct from the master, of their February 14, 1983 show at Festival Hall in Osaka, Japan..the DVD contains an amazing audience-shot video from the following night at the same venue....the bonus title here is "2nd Night In Osaka" which of course contains another superbly captured audience recording of that February 15th performance...
 
...The format remains the same with the latest from Langley Deluxe, THE MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP "God Returns - Definitive Master" 2CD...here we get what is implied as a low gen transfer if not direct from the master upgrade of the stereo soundboard tape of his January 13, 1983 concert at Sun Palace Hall in Fukuoka, Japan...the bonus 2CDR set, "Fukuoka 1983 Audience Master" is simply an audience source of the same show....
UPDATE!...added November 30th...New QUEEN and ROLLING STONES box sets from Wonderland Records for December release...
And that puts the wraps on this weeks' update, and wraps up November, yikes. Only 25 shopping days left folks...incredible. By the way, if you haven't sampled or downloaded the officially released new ROLLING STONES "Brussels Affair" from Stonesarchive.com...do yourself a favor and spend the $5 in the States or $9 for the FLAC files outside of the U.S., it's absolutely essential rock and roll...between that and the new "Some Girls Live In Texas" along with the "Some Girls" deluxe bonus disc...'tis a good time to be alive!....have a great week!
