PAVLOV'S DOG - 1990 LOST IN AMERICA.

PAVLOV'S DOG - 1977 HAS ANYONE HERE SEEN SIGFRIED ? Remast.+ bonus 2017.
Being the third album in 1977 but due to poor sales of the first two albums, Columbia refused to release it, hastening the band’s split. The third album finally appeared as a bootleg in the 1980s, a limited edition pressed from stolen master tapes. It was released under the name The St. Louis Hounds, without Pavlov’s Dog’s name on the sleeve.
This album was released legally in 2017 by German label Rockville Music, titled HAS ANYONE HERE SEEN SIGFRIED, remastered and including additional 10 bonustracks of unreleased material from the 70ies.

RAY OWEN - MOON 1971 (ex JUICY LUCY)
Taken off his first and only seff-titled solo album, released in 1971. Ray Owen was the original vocalist in British outfit Juicy Lucy, and he appeared on their first self titled album in 1969. He left the band, his replacement being Paul Williams, and formed his own band, with Dick Stubbs and Les Nicol on guitars, Ian McLean on drums and Sid Gardner on bass.
Their first and only album, which is quite rare and collectible, was released on Polydor Records, and it featured a number of really good riff laden tracks, in addition to a stunning version of Hendrix's "Voodoo Child", which Owen would redo in the mid 90's when he reformed his own version of Juicy Lucy. His career after Ray Owen's Moon is much of a mystery, as no record can be found of any other bands he may have featured with afterwards.

ROBIN TROWER - TWICE REMOVED FROM YESTERDAY 1973.
R.T
Following Jimi Hendrix’s death in 1970, people spent three long years wondering who his successor would be. And then along came Robin Trower with his debut album, Twice Removed From Yesterday. After that, there was no more wondering. That’s not to say that Trower was nothing more than a Hendrix facsimile. He wasn’t. Neither was he another Eric Clapton or Jeff Beck.

JIMI HENDRIX - 1970 LIVE IN MAUI .
The full story behind what might be the strangest chapter of Jimi Hendrix’s all-too-brief career is about to come to light when Sony Legacy/Experience Hendrix releases the documentary film “Music, Money, Madness…Jimi Hendrix in Maui” on November 20, accompanied by the album “Live in Maui,” released on two CDs and three LPs. The doc traces the origins of Hendrix’s involvement in a counterculture movie shot on the Hawaiian island, and the surprise concert he was coaxed into performing there on the side of a volcano as an attempt to rescue the ill-fated film.
As we hear in the two sets of music performed in Maui, Hendrix is relaxed, loose and having fun with his band. The elements were working against them and certainly played a role in mucking up the filming and recording of the show, but Hendrix doesn’t seem to care, as he and the band let it rip on a set of mostly classic songs followed by a break, then a set of mostly new material he’d been trying to nail down with Billy Cox, Mitch Mitchell and Eddie Kramer back at Electric Lady.
Jimi seems to be in a great mood, and we see him laughing and joking with the band and with the audience. Contrast this footage to the film shot on the Isle of Wight in the UK a month later when a visually exhausted and frustrated Hendrix performed in the middle of the night while battling equipment issues in front of more than 600,000 people, many of whom stormed the gates for entry. At Maui, the pressure is off – and it shows.
Guitar nerds will want to know that Jimi plays a Fender Stratocaster, per usual, in the first set but busts out a Gibson Flying V guitar for the newer songs in set two, which gave his tonal palate a sharper, edgier, gnarlier tone on the fresh material.
It’s astonishing to see this footage look so spectacular on the Blu-ray disc, both in the 90-minute documentary “Music, Money, Madness” and in the special features, where we see every piece of 16mm film shot during Hendrix’s performance. That isn’t to say the whole show is here, because it isn’t. For a number of reasons, the crew didn’t shoot everything, but what is here is unlike any other Hendrix concert footage available.
Cameramen are onstage with the band, and even in Jimi’s face, when he goes down on his knees, head back, guitar outstretched, in an iconic shot. He accepted that this hastily arranged show was out of his hands so he decided to good-naturedly play along and give the people what they want, and it is a joy to see and hear.
Both sets were shot in daylight which afforded awesome visuals of the stage action as well as the trippy weirdness taking place out in the crowd of about 200-300 mostly awed locals.

LED ZEPPELIN - HOW THE WEST WAS WON
TOO OLD
 |
LED ZEPPELIN - 2003 HOW THE WEST WAS WON 3cd.
How the West Was Won is a triple live album by English rock group Led Zeppelin, released by Atlantic Records on CD on May 27, 2003 and DVD-Audio on October 20, 2003. These original performances are from the band's 1972 concert tour of the United States, recorded at the L.A. Forum on June 25, 1972 and Long Beach Arena on June 27, 1972. Guitarist Jimmy Page considers Led Zeppelin at this point to have been at their artistic peak, as mentioned in the liner notes.
For many years, live recordings of these two shows only circulated in the form of bootlegs, and even then only certain audience recordings were available to fans and collectors (for example, Burn Like A Candle). Though several soundboard recordings of Led Zeppelin concerts were circulated amongst fans after having been stolen from Page's personal archive some time in the 1980s, no soundboards of the 1972 Long Beach or LA Forum shows were taken, meaning the release of How the West Was Won was the first chance fans had of hearing the soundboard versions of these concerts.
The songs from the two shows underwent some extensive editing and audio engineering by Page at SARM West Studios in London before being released on the album. A comprehensive analysis of live tracks edits for the album can be found at The Garden Tapes. Some songs which were played at the concerts, such as "Communication Breakdown" and a rare version "Louie Louie" from the June 25 show, were left off How the West Was Won.
The album debuted on the Billboard 200 chart on June 14, 2003 at number 1, with sales of 154,000 copies. It remained on the chart for 16 weeks. It was certified gold and platinum record awards by the RIAA on June 30, 2003. The album became the first Led Zeppelin album since 1979's In Through the Out Door to reach the #1 position.

LED ZEPPELIN - TRIBUTE TO J.KIDD
TOO OLD

LED ZEPPELIN - 1975 A TRIBUTE TO JOHNNY KIDD and the PIRATES (flac).
This is what bootlegs are all about: 28 tracks of unrehearsed Led Zeppelin goodness. If you’ve ever wanted to be in the room while the mighty Zep dicked around with their instruments, this is as good as it gets. False starts, a few measures of this or that, Bonzo banging the shit out of his drum kit, Jimmy noodling on the same riff like a kid amusing himself on the front porch, come on!
A Tribute to Johnny Kidd and the Pirates isn’t what the title suggest. This bootleg captures a 1975 sound check before a show at the Minneapolis Sports Center and some 1970 acoustic jams at Bron-Y-Aur cottage, Wales. The latter tracks are what really custard my pie. Fast forward to the 30 minute mark for the lovely jam named “Bert Jansch”:
So what’s with the title? Johnny Kidd and the Pirates were a first wave British rock and roll band, and as such a huge influence on ’60s era UK rockers. The Who’s cover of “Shakin’ All Over” is probably their best known song, and you can hear Zep cover it here. Like all bands, Led Zeppelin played the songs they enjoyed during sound check, so here you get lots of ’50s rockers; heck, album opener is the Chuck Berry classic “School Days.” It’s like listening to the full Zep lineup playing a Honeydrippers set.
There are a couple of versions of this bootleg floating around, both on vinyl and CD.
