...Scorpio emerges from the shadows with a couple of releases this month...above is yet another ROLLING STONES compilation, "Reel Time Trip" 2CD that includes one previously unreleased track from the 1961 LITTLE BOY BLUE AND THE BLUE BOYS tape we first got a listen to a few years ago -the newly presented track is "You're Right, I'm Left, She's Gone"... the rest of the compilation here I am as skeptical about as any of you as it boasts that they are transferred from 'orignal studio tapes'...a tired tale but we'll see...here's the tracklisting:

...While it was shared in last weeks' column, Wendy Records' LED ZEPPELIN release this month, "How I Won The West" above supposedly features a newly released source but it's not clear which of te 4 or 5 different sources make up the title.  Featured in the 4 Soundboard bonus tracks on disc 3 is the opening "Immigrant Song" which is a previously unreleased track if I'm not mistaken.  The other 3 bonus soundboard tracks:  What Is And What Should Never Be, Dancing Days and Moby Dick have been in cirulation and featured on other boot CDs...
