A title I forgot to include last week is THE ROLLING STONES "Europe '73" from SODD (Singer's Original Direct Disc), which borrows the look of the wonderful LP from Royal Sound, and houses the excellent King Biscuit Flower Hour tapes from Brussels and London 1973, along with New York 1972 soundboard tracks...as with other SODD titles, there's a bonus CDR with the first 200 copies and in this case, it's the Brussels soundboard from October 17, 1973 (2nd show)...coming from Zion is a robust SIMON & GARFUNKEL 6CD set plus a couple of bonus CDRs (in very limited quantities)...called "At Korakuen", it features 3 different performances at Korkuen Stadium in Tokyo on May 10th, 11th & 12th, 1982.  The bonus discs are comprised of a solo ART GARFUNKEL show from the Tokyo Dome on July 24th, 1988 (called "Lefty At The Dome"), and another SIMON & GARFUNKEL concert at New York City's Madison Square Garden for the "McGovern Benefit", formally titled "Coming Home America!", recorded live on July 14th, 1972.  Wardour announced a very nice WISHOBONE ASH title this past week, taken directly from a BBC Trancscription LP, "Pop Spectacular" 1CD provides a stereo soundboard recording from the Paris Theater in London on May 25, 1972.

That's all for this week.  If you notice any broken images or "missing" images as you click around this week, no worries!...we are in the middle of integrating some new Article Management software that we are seeing a growing need to tweak and test.  Thanks for visiting and please do so often!  We're uploading reviews as quickly as we can...and, curses!...4Reel's insistence on forcing pseudo 5.1 surround into their releases, does NOT make their STONES "LA '75" definitive but it's awfully good!...we've got reviews coming on that and more this week.
