Audience 8.8 - This show finally comes to light after decades and it’s surprisingly good. It’s extremely insistent and powerful sounding with guitars really up front and vocals thankfully pretty nicely mixed in as well. In fact, even drums here sound nicely integrated into the live sound mix in this small sounding venue. I rather like this one and you will too. Armored Saint Sherwood's Indianapolis, IN.

Audience 9.3 - Taken from master tape, this is super clean, vibrant, and detailed – as an Italian prog recording ought to be. These guys cover a wide range of sound and style all keeping within that certain ethos of grandiose, elegant Italian rock (can get frenetic at times, complex, gentle, ethnic, it's all that and more).

Audience 7.8 - Similar to the Bruxelles show but the sound field opens up more on this and the highs, while maybe slightly crispy, are a plus as they give some definition to the music. -
Aud 7.6 - decent all around without a lot of dynamics but strong -

Audience 8.3-8.7 - What starts out sounding kind of boomy, slowly starts to turn into a very good and powerful recording as if the taper started on one side (bass) and moved to the middle…either that or the sound man finally got it right. Either way this will surely please! -
Audience 7.8 - Both shows roughly the same with enough differences to say one has qualities the other doesn’t have and vice versa. So whereas in one show you might get more definition on guitar, the other will have more vocal presence and a slightly better rhythm section. Take your pick, two vintage Atomic Rooster gigs hardly a losing proposition. -
Dallas, TX. based hard rock/jazz fusion group heavily influenced by Jean Luc Ponty and Mahavishnu Orchestra. Enjoyed a brief but fruitful life span between the years 1975 and 1977, and having at least two significant line-up changes. Bassist Roy Vogt would later go on to find much success touring with legendary singer Englebert Humperdinck and teaching and recording many compositions in Nashville, most notably with guitarist extraordinaire Stan Lassiter. -
Soundboard 8.6 - This sounds VERY 80’s, I mean, it sounds pretty dated…but good quality. I guess they were not too bad, kind of simplistic maybe in a Twisted Sister kind of way, but the guitarist pulls out some tasty solos.

CD 1 - Pro 8.8 (and the best disc of this set) CD 2 - Audience 6.4 (possibly the worst of this set, but if you turn it up louder it sounds better actually. Levels are low!) CD 3 - Audience 7.2 (a big step up from previous disc, levels a little low but not so much, kind of thin, gets crowded when the band is loud.)

Recorded live at Max's Kansas City in NYC 1979. This is an import CD. Jewel Case new never played. -
Soundboard 9.5 - Mixed for official release, but sadly it was withdrawn from the market and is now hopelessly out of print. -
Audience 8.5 - Nothing much to complain about here. A good and very “live” sounding tape. Gives you the atmosphere which, if done properly, adds much to the tape. -
CD 1 - Brisbane - Audience 7.8 (a little bit flat maybe but it is clear enough you hear the whole band, still enjoyable nonetheless) CD 2 - Lancaster - Audience 8.6 (a great recording here) -
Audience 7.6 - I wish this sounded better because it’s one of the few recordings capturing that rare moment when they are joined by the Zeppers. So, yeah, a little rough with the loudness and all, but important in a historical sense. -
Soundboard 9.4 - Brilliant! -
Audience 9.2 - KANSAS opened up for BAD COMPANY on this exciting night in 1976. We have that show listed as well. -
Stoke 1974 Audience 8.4 - A loud tape with a touch of stadium boom, but not anything that approaches irritation. It sounds like it’s in stereo, I hear guitar in one channel and bass in the other which is kinda cool. The instruments are all clearly discernible here making for a tape that sits on the upper side of very good. Tulsa 1975 Audience 8.7 - A tape that has a good, snappy live sound and a pretty good mix for the ears. The music is delivered to you through a tight mid-range and a snare drum that hovers over everything making it instantly delightful. I rather do like this one! Orange, France 1975 Audience 8.8 - A fine tape, one that really has good separation of instruments, and very decent dynamics. When the guitar solos, the sound seems to glide above you, so that kind of effect and atmosphere puts this show into a category I call “Repeat Listening” because you will go to it again. Amsterdam 1976 Audience 8.8 - Brassy, but enough mid and bottom to smooth that out nicely. A touch of cymbal sizzle but again there’s enough of all other frequencies here that not any one stands out in an annoying fashion. This is a well-balanced tape with some real life in it.

Audience 7.9 - Foot- stomping and LOUD recording! Bristles with energy, the tape can barely contain it but it does. Fun show! -
Audience 8.4 - This is not the nice and clean Badfinger of FM radio, this is a jamming rock and roll band. Great raw live sound! -
Studio Quality 9.5 - This 2CD set compiles some of the best uncirculating or hard to find Badfinger demos and studio outtakes. Many other worthy tracks were excluded since they already appear in excellent quality on other collections. (ie. Apple Demos 1970-1972 and Complete Ass). Highlights include a 'new' version of Coppertoone Blues, the speed corrected demo of Without You (I Can't Live), the first appearence on CD of an alternate 'piano version' of Do You Mind and the rough mixes of several tracks from their classic Apple-era. In addition the original mix of the 1974 'Head First' album taken from cassette obtained directly from Mike Gibbins in the late 90's. These 1974 mixes are different from the 2000 Snapper CD mixes and are a major upgrade from other circulating copies.Badfinger Without You 1968 - 1975 Demos, Outtakes and Rarities Disc 1 01 Carry On Til Tomorrow – 1969 Demo 02 Knocking Down Our Home – 1968 Demo Given To Paul McCartney 03 Maybe Tomorrow – 1969 Recording For B66bc Radio 04 John Forgot To Sing – 1970 Pete Ham Demo 05 No Matter What – 1970 Early Mix W / Alternate Lead Vocal 06 I Can Not Take It – 1970- Alternate / Extended Mix – No Horns 07 No Matter What – 1970 ‘Top Of The Pops’ Live Vacal Version With Fixed Intro 08 Without You – 1969 Pete Ham Demo 09 Without You – 1969 Tom Evans Demo- Speed Corrected 10 We’re For The Dark – 1970 Alternate Mix- Different Guitar Overdubs, No Horns Or Strings 11 I’ll Be The One – 1970 Rehearsal 12 Take It All – 1971 Pete Ham Demo 13 Day After Day – 1971 Rough Mix Alternatelead Vocal And Lacking Overdubs 14 Name Of The Game – 1971 Unreleased Al Kooper Single Mix 15 Do You Mind – 1972 “Ass” Outtake – 1st Unreleased Version From Upgraded Source 16 Do You Mind – “Ass” Outtake – Piano Based Version – Unreleased To Date 17 Coppertone Blues – New Composite Version From Original Pete Ham Demo And 1972 “Ass” Outtake Backing Track 18 Shine On – 1973 Rehearsal 19 Oh Wow – 1973 Unfinished Track From Self-titled Warner Bros.

Audience 6.4 - Very lo-fi and not super clear but it’s a very cool early show. -
Soundboard 9.1 - The source used for this CD is a DAT tape made from a direct transfer of Joey Molland’s tapes of the show. Whether that means it is the same as what else is out there, I do not know, but it is possible that the radio station did their own recording for broadcast and other releases use the FM broadcast. This is not that! The sound quality is uneven at times while the levels are adjusted but after that it’s smooth sailing. -
Zoom in on the images to see condition. Vinyl is EXCELLENT If you need more information just reach out to me and I will provide it. Prices reflect the value, I am not inflating worth, it's all based on looking at Ebay, Discogs, and sometimes Popsike. I am open to offers if they are reasonable and you are wanting other items...it's all factored into the equation but your best bet is to take advantage of coupons when they are offered. -
FM Broadcast 9.2 - A great recording that captures the atmosphere and the thrilling musicianship brightly, if maybe a touch too boldly on the meters…no worries, there’s nothing to interfere with your listening pleasure. The band…did not know much about them but they sure have the chops. I get a little bit of a sort of Whitesnake influence, but not any of the trademark cheesiness. Jake E. Lee is very acrobatic without unnecessary shredding, I would not call his playing shred at all in fact. It’s actually quite tasteful and great use of effects…thrilling at times, and very few dive bombs and when he does it’s in and out, they don’t overstay their welcome. I could say that for the songs too, they all have good balance and set up all the solos nicely. They even cover Purple Haze…umm…maybe they should have left that one alone. But everything else is tops.

All Soundboard 9.3 - This entirely depends on how much you want to hear blazing, inventive lead guitar and don’t mind if the bass sounds more like a rhythm guitar, That is what the bass sounds like to my ears, it’s there, but it’s not “low end” it’s more like a heavy rhythm guitar. It works for this style of rock though – and it’s all good stuff, if maybe a tad generic with the singing.
