The review

This new release features the famous again the 1st Stones concert from London 8 September 1973 in vinyl format. This show surfaced at first on tape called Heartbreakers in Wembley, then some years ago with a complete version of Gimme Shelter which had already been released on Nasty Songs (DAC 065) copy of London 8^th September 1973 Early Show (Devil’s Breath DB002) with pitch corrected.

The first show from the 8^th was also released as European Tour 1973 (TMQ RS 561), as part of The Complete London Tapes (SOS 730907-8-9) 4 cdrs, London 73 (Shaved Discs Trash 03), Touring History vol.4 (Bad Wizard 8973) then Belladonna on a Toussaint Night (Sister Morphine 31), Timeless 73 (VGP 373), Wembley High Rollers (Halcyon 2006). Then some years later Empire Pool 73 (SODD 055) replicated the first London 8^th September excellent show together with the last concert of September 9^th as bonus cdr. This show has also come out as Comeback To London (SODD 084-5) and as part of Tour 1973 (WLR 2135) 13 discs box, however the best version has always been Come Back To England (DAC 073). The sound of the first show is quite brilliant and at the correct speed possibly showing the better compromise between boosted trebles and booming bass sounds without changing too much the original sound. Recently a cd called Wembley 1973 Day 2 1^st show (no label) came out, another remaster with Honky Tonk Women 1.5 seconds longer. Just some months ago another release bearing the same name came out, however slightly better and the covers different, soon copied on Star Star Live in London 1973(AV 2018121). This release has a good sound but in mono while the performance is stellar as well as the artwork.
