VA - Many Faces Of KISS (3 CD, 2017/FLAC)

Rare material by the members of the band includes Gene Simmons collaborating with Engelbert Humperdinck, a Vinnie Vincent demo, collaborations featuring Ace Frehley, Eric Singer and Bob Kulick and much more. Also includes the original demo, for the first time available, from "Is That You?" (from the album Unmasked) performed by its writer: Gerard McMahon.

Kiss is one of the most remarkable wonder in rock's history, a band that stirs up passions and ignites the soul of teenagers -and older- with its addictive blend of hard rock, special effects, catchy tunes, lots of charisma and a sense of danger and freedom that has rarely been experienced somewhere else.

B.B. King Orchestra - Live At Midem 1983 (2020/FLAC)

 B.B. King is hailed as the reigning king of the blues. The Mississippi-born King notched an incredible 74 entries on Billboard's R&B charts between 1951 and 1985, and he was one of the few full-fledged blues artists to score a major pop hit when his 1970 record The Thrill Is Gone crossed over to mainstream success.

Starting out with a radio appearance on Sonny Boy Williamson's King Biscuit Time, it is now more than 45 years since Bill Graham introduced him on the stage of the Fillmore West in San Francisco

where he got a standing ovation before he'd played a single note. It has been said B.B.'s penetration of blues into the musical mainstream can be compared to the contributions of Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong in their spheres.

Grand Funk Railroad - Trunk Of Funk Vol. 1 & 2 [2x6 CD, 2017]

 

There have been many Grand Funk Railroad compilations released over the years but these two sets put the albums in the well named Trunk of Funk and releases them in two bite sized chunks. For Grand Funk fans looking to replace their vinyl with remastered CDs, these two Trunk of Funk boxes are a good way to start. Included are the group’s first four albums - their 1969 debut, On Time, and their 1970 trio of releases; Grand Funk, Closer to Home, and Live Album - plus previously unreleased tracks. The original Dave Tedds masters have been used and each box has an essay by Malcolm Dome as well as original album credits.



Extremely popular during the 1970s, American rock band Grand Funk Railroad, sometimes known as Grand Funk, toured extensively and played to packed arenas worldwide. David Fricke of Rolling Stone magazine once said, “You cannot talk about rock in the 1970s without talking about Grand Funk Railroad!”. Although Grand Funk was to enjoy their biggest commercial success a few years down the line (1973’s We’re an American Band), it’s the group’s early era that is often considered its peak by the headbanging crowd. And it’s easy to understand why after hearing the Black Sabbath-esqueSin’s a Good Man’s Brother, the turbo-charged Are You Ready, and the drum solo showcase T.N.U.C.
