The review

At first I thought I was dealing with a remake of the excellent Wild Card Teardrops On The Tower release but I was in for a surprise. Mountain Of Love contains an incomplete but VERY COMPELLING show from December 31, 1975 at the Tower in Philly! The show is stunning and so is the quality making this a must have releas. What we have here are unreleased multi track production reels recorded for an eventual live LP back then and what a great release it would had been but hey: Long Live The World Of Bootlegging! All hail the Godfather for this excellent title. The show is nothing short of breathtaking especially the slow "10th Avenue Freeze Out" an inspiring "Spirits In The Night' a haunting "Jungleland", I can go on. Just 9 songs but what a recording! I start repeating myself so just rush out and go and get yourself a copy before all 500 are sold out!
