...a couple of titles leveraged from rare japanese master audience recordings include the LYNYRD SKYNYRD release "One More From The Nights" 2CD featuring an exciting January 15, 1977 performance at Nakano Sunplaza...and FOREIGNER "First Time In Tokyo" 1CD leverages another audience capture from The Budokan on April 4, 1978 and comes with the bonus CDR "Hot Blooded in Philly" which contains the stereo soundboard from The Spectrum hockey arena on December 1, 1978 - both shows featuring the original line-up of course...

...Arriving shortly from Sigma will be their next two PINK FLOYD releases..."Santa Monica 1970" 2CD plus the bonus mini-TMOQ sleeve replica CDR "Omayyad", the silver disc offering promising an upgrade of the fantastic Santa Monica Civic Audiorium tape from May 1st, 1970 and the latter offering what appears to be a needle drop of the legendary TMOQ vinyl source..."Boston 1973" 2CD presents an amazing/near-perfect audience source of their March 14, 1973 show at Boston Music Hall....

...Batting clean-up this week are the new titles from the Yellow Dog-folks on the His Master's Choice Label and their latest BEATLES product in brand new packaging.."Get Back...continued!"

And for the first time in AMBIENT STEREO a nice compilation of songs from the Nagra tapes. Due to new techniques it is possible to create a sound that comes close to a mixing desk recording.

The vocals now jump out of the speakers and the backing sounds as though it has just been played in your front room - it really is that good!"...which certainly sounds intriguing enough to conclude this week's news on that note, thank you very much for stopping in and have yourself a great week!
