Jethro Tull: Heavy horses (New shoes edition) [Digibook / 3 CD + 2 DVD]

Rush har ända sedan mitten av 70-talet varit ett av de bästa och viktigaste banden inom den progressiva rocken, och albumen har hela tiden hållit en hög kvalitet. Denna underbara box innehåller samtliga studioalbum mellan åren 1989 och 2007 i snygga "mini-LP" konvolut. Som grädde på moset är det den remixade versionen av "Vapor trails" som återfinns här.

Before his death in January, legendary guitarist Jeff Beck revisited concert recordings made by Beck, Bogert & Appice, the power trio he formed in 1972 with drummer/singer Carmine Appice and bassist/singer Tim Bogert. The live music captures the band at the beginning and end of its short-but-influential partnership, with two shows in Japan in 1973 and one of the group's final performances in London a year later.<br/><br/>All three band members were involved in creating LIVE IN JAPAN 1973, LIVE IN LONDON 1974, and the collection is dedicated to Beck and Bogert, who died in 2023 and 2021, respectively. The set includes an expansive booklet with extended liner notes detailing the group's history by music journalist/manager Bruce Pilato, along with memorabilia, archival photos, and a replica poster.<br/><br/>Beck and Appice mixed all the concerts in this set from the original multi-tracks that had been in Beck's archive for almost 50 years, thus knocking the many bootleg quality releases, that Beck hated, out of the park! The two performances at Koseinenkin Hall in Osaka, Japan (recorded May 18 and 19, 1973) were released exclusively in Japan a few months after the shows, but never in the U.S. The complete concert at the Rainbow Theatre in London, England (recorded January 26, 1974) has never been released anywhere. <br/><br/>In the booklet, Pilato explores the short existence and lasting legacy of Beck, Bogert & Appice, a supergroup that critics once hailed as "the first successor to Cream" (Melody Maker) and an "ensemble of virtually unparalleled magnificence" (NME). <br/><br/>LIVE IN JAPAN 1973 was recorded only a few weeks after Beck, Bogert & Appice's self-titled debut came out. The music ripples with raw energy as the group delivers exhilarating live versions of nearly every song on the album, including "Superstition," "Lady," and "Livin' Alone." The trio also played songs by the Yardbirds ("Jeff's Boogie") and the Jeff Beck Group ("Morning Dew" and "Going Down.")

Little Feat is the quintessential "cult" rock band. Started by Lowell George in earnest in 1969, by 1975 they had already released five projects. Their 5th studio album, The Last Record Album, gives a subtle nod & wink to the critically acclaimed 1971 box office hit The Last Picture Show in its title and cover artwork -another wonderfully trippy collaboration with the artist Neon Park. <br/>By far the band's shortest release, with only eight total tracks, The Last Record Album still boasts several essential Feat compositions like "One Love Stand" (covered by Carly Simon) and "Long Distance Love" (covered by Elvis Costello for the Lowell George tribute album Long Distance Love: A Sweet Relief Tribute to Lowell George).<br/><br/>Getting the Rhino Deluxe treatment with this release are a 4CD featuring the original albums remastered and recut from the original tapes, alongside previously unreleased studio outtakes, demos and rarities - with the CD sporting an unreleased live show from the corresponding tour (in this case their 1975 stop at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston). <br/><br/>It's a feast for the auditory senses, with a treasure trove of material for Little Feat's feverish fan base, in the tradition of the deluxe reissues that have come before it from across their 1970's Warner catalog.
