REO Speedwagon- The Classic Years 1978-1990 [9 CD, 2019/FLAC + 320]

By the end of the 70s and beginning of the 80s, R.E.O. Speedwagon had won the hearts, minds and airwaves of continental North America. This hard won ascendance was comprehensively documented on the 8CD “Early Years 1971-1977” collection from HNE.

R.E.O. Speedwagon’s long history goes way back to their formation in Champaign, Illinois in 1967. Initially a covers band playing bars and fraternity houses, the initial line-up featuring Neal Doughty on keyboards and Alan Gratzer on drums and vocals, named themselves after the R.E.O. Speed Wagon, a model of American flat-bed truck.

 

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Transmission Impossible (3 CD, 2016/FLAC)

The most formidable of contemporary rock groups, the Red Hot Chili Peppers don t just defy categorisation, they appear to invent their own with every new release - and often do likewise within the confines of a live performance. Indeed, the group s startling eclecticism is only surpassed by their lofty talents and astonishing musical catalogue.

 This 3 x CD set features a selection of rare FM radio broadcasts recorded between the end of the 1980s and the middle of the 1990s, when for many the band were at their absolute pinnacle of achievement. Kicking off with a show recorded at the famous Ahoy venue in Rotterdam in 1995, the collection continues in reverse order with a recording from the equally familiar Pat O Brien Pavilion in Del Mar, California in 91. Last up comes a terrific performance from the Chilis given in Kawasaki, Japan in 1990, which concludes an extraordinary selection of live performances that provide evidence if such were ever required of the Red Hot Chili Peppers peerless position as the finest live musical act working today.
