Kel Hard 1st Dec 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumApril Wine - Live | ReviewA fine recording of their 1974 "Electric Adventure" tour. I only wish there was more!! This LP is very well recorded, especially Jerry Mercer's drums! This LP features 2 tracks that are not on any other AW album ("Mama' It's True" and "Druthers") "I'm On Fire For You Baby" was the latest single at the time so it is wonderfully performed here. This has always been one of my fave AW albums as a kid. A powerful testament to a band that could rock it hard, then turn around and play a sweet rock ballad. Note that the Unidisc CD remaster is edited slightly to remove some amp feedback squeals. But after hearing it for over 40 years in its original form, it's hard to NOT hear them!..

Kel Hard 30th Sep 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumDeep Purple - Shades Of Deep Purple | 1st set of labels pictured are true 1st Tetragrammaton pressings. The other 3 sets of labels are of counterfeit copies. Sets 2 & 4 are from the 70's, set 3 is from the 80's. The heavily distributed (and inferior sounding) counterfeits/pirates were produced by notorious US counterfeiter John Lamonte, who operated "Creative Sounds, Ltd", and later, the budget "Power Sound 2001" CD label. His LP's were made from poor needledrops. As the 3 Tetragrammaton LP's were not reissued by WB in the US in the 70's (Canada and Japan had reissues), these became ideal fodder for counterfeits.
Note that all Lamonte-produced counterfeits have the talking/door slamming excised from "Hey Joe".
