CD 1 - Alkmaar - Soundboard 8.8 / CD 2 - Ashington - Audience 8.0 -
Audience 8.7 - Right in your face, loud and clear, which is appropriate for this hard hitting style of rock and roll. -
Audience 9.0/8.5/8.7 - All four discs are very good source tapes with the first two discs being the strongest with a sound quality that sits nicely on the ears, very comfortable, albeit slightly further back in the hall than the other two discs. I think the other shows maybe feature a louder, more up front guitar sound, but at the same time are also a bit more crowded in that frequency although at no time is there distortion present. Disc 3 suffers from a little bit of the typical big sound onto little cassette recorder where it’s just not as clear as you wish but at least you can hear what is going on, and it is not what I would call muddy sounding. Disc 4 is decent in the fact that you have a clear guitar, tone is audible which is crucial when you are listening to Leslie West. All instruments audible and distinct but not rising much above a middle to upper 8 rating. All in all, I am pleased at the overall sound quality in this set seeing as how there are not many really high quality audios of this band.

Audience 8.7 - Sounds like 1977, very dated but it's a very clear tape. Doesn't stray too much into the low end of the sound pool, but neither is it a "thin to win" tape. It's a mid range sound, a good one, but kind of narrow in some regards, almost like a REALLY good AM radio sound. I like it nonetheless.Weather Report Kursaal Bern, Switzerland September 26, 19771.

Audience 8.8 - A good, bright recording that features rich bass, and strong vocals in particular. This allows you to hear the musicianship which believe it or not, these guys have! I also appreciate their nods to the classics. W.A.S.P. Elysee Montmartre Paris, France October 28, 1992 Disc 1 01 The Invisible Boy 02 The Real Me 03 L.O.V.E.

Brand New - This is the best sounding Soundboard Recording of “headless Tour” for sure! And also an hard one to find! Blackie and Johnny are taking turns singing their asses off and that comes through crisp and clear on this soundboard recording. -
Brand New - Although it's a soundboard recording this show is not the best sounding one. It has some very interesting moments of WASP live showing the band at its peak! -
Seattle 1977 Audience 9.3 - Captured in a smaller venue you get a great sense of the proximity, and the space surrounding taper as bits of chatter and background noises lend ambience. A great recording!
Upper Darby 1980 FM Broadcast 9.5 - This is from a KBFH reel so yeah, it’s fantastic.
Seattle 2000 Soundboard 9.6 - A board tape that manages to allow some of the room to seep into the mix so it’s a bit livelier and manages to convince the ear it is not Memorex…or is it?

Eric Turner made self-released CD called “Demos for Diehards” containing 11 unreleased tracks from Warrant’s early career. Here you have that same set of 11 songs plus a bunch of 6 unreleased tracks recoded though bands career in the 90’s. A must for every Warrant fan! -
Herer are the Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich Demos! The band recorded 21 songs, some of them were left out of the record. So this CD as plenty of unreleased material for any Warrant’s fan to go crazy!!! -
Here you have the Plane Jane Demos (Jani Lane pre Warrant Band) and the very first proper sound recording of a Warrant’s show. Recorded at the legendary Gazzarri’s this show has some tunes never officially released by the band. Songs that did not make it to the first album! -
Brand New - Soundboard recording live at Volksbildungsheim, Frankfurt, Germany on 19 December 1985. Great show! -
Studio Recording - This is actually a recent album (digital download only) of a band that first formed in Germany in 1969, and I knew absolutely nothing about them. Turns out they are really good! Their stock in trade is playing familiar progressive 70’s rock arrangements with the same vintage equipment used in their 70’s prime, but recording with modern facilities to get a full, powerful sound. I would say mission accomplished because this is quite good, and not only good but the fact that some of their older material is here in a reworked fashion that does it justice...which is kinda rare to find these days.

Audience 8.2 - Drums and vocals present, rhythm section just behind them but the recording is not suffering from typical large hall boominess or distortion so it offers a reasonable enjoyment factor to these ears. -
Brand New - Sealed Sound quality on all releases on this label is excellent. -
Studio 8.7 - A little sonic degradation to these professional studio demos (the bonus tracks are abbreviated probably due to legal reasons at the time they were recorded). Some of the tracks are better quality, but the worst are still very good, just maybe a little loss of clarity and fidelity but nothing major. You’ll enjoy this if you are a fan.
