EXTRAORDINARY MORRISSEY BROADCAST FROM HIS MALADJUSTED TOUR After his solo-contract with EMI expired, Morrissey signed to RCA in 1995. On his new label he recorded his next album, Southpaw Grammar, at the Miraval Studios in southern France. It reached number 4 in the UK album charts, but made little impact compared to its two predecessors. In September 1995, Morrissey served as the support act for the European leg of David Bowie's Outside Tour. Backstage at the Aberdeen gig, Morrissey was taken ill and taken to hospital; he did not return for the rest of the tour. Later referring to the tour critically, he stated that when you become involved with Bowie, "you have to worship at the Temple of David". Morrissey returned on Island Records in 1997, releasing the single Alma Matters in July, followed by his next album Maladjusted in August. The album peaked at number 8 in the UK album charts. Its further two singles, Roy's Keen and Satan Rejected My Soul , both peaked outside the top 30 on the UK singles chart. The Maladjusted Tour began in Toronto on 12th September 97, and ended its first leg on 12th October at LA s Greek Theatre, where Moz and his band performed probably the finest show of the tour. Recorded for live broadcast on West Coast Radio, the gig remains previously unreleased but is now finally available on this new CD. Bonus tracks here come from an earlier broadcast made in the KROQ studio on 16th August 97, for the station s Modern Rock Live segment.

With relations between Costello and bassist Bruce Thomas at breaking point, Costello announced that the current tour would be the Attractions' last. One of the finest shows on the tour was performed at New York s Supper Club on 22nd May 96, where a quite stunning set was performed including many tracks from the new record and a host of classics and obscurities from previous albums, mixed up with a healthy selection of covers.

EARLY BROADCAST RECORDING FROM THE RECENTLY SINGLE ROBERT PLANT IN 1983 Following the demise of Led Zeppelin in December 1980, Robert Plant considered abandoning music in favour of teaching. He nevertheless embarked on a successful solo career, helped by encouragement from Genesis drummer Phil Collins, who would go on to play with Plant. Robert Plant's solo career began with the album Pictures at Eleven in 1982, followed by 1983's The Principle of Moments. The latter record featured the track Big Log , which became Plant s debut chart hit in territories worldwide. Following the strength of his first two releases, Plant launched a successful tour in 1983, which covered dates in the US and the UK. One of the finest shows performed on the tour was at London s Hammersmith Odeon on 12th December which, somewhat bravely for the singer, did not feature a single Led Zeppelin song. Even the introduction of special guest Jimmy Page, who joined Robert for the encore, didn t change things as the pair burst into a version of the old Elvis tune Treat Her Right , before the full band left the stage to understandably, frenzied screams of more . Recorded for live FM Radio Broadcast but previously unreleased, this superb gig is now available in its entirety for the first time on this 2CD set.

THE CLASSIC 1981 SHOW AT BOND INTERNATIONAL CASINO NYC • In support of their 1981 album Sandinista!, The Clash played a series of 17 concerts at Bonds International Casino in New York City in May and June 1981. Due to their wide publicity, the concerts became an important moment in the history of the band. Some of the nights were recorded for FM broadcast. • The site of the concerts was formerly Bonds department store which had been converted into a large second-floor hall. Promoters kept the name because there was a large Bonds sign on the outside of the building. As The Clash had not yet broken out into mass popularity in the US, eight shows were originally scheduled: 28, 29, 30, 31 May and 1, 2, 3 and 5 June 1981. However, given the venue's legal capacity limit of 1750, the series was blatantly oversold (3500) right from the first night, leading the New York City Fire Department to cancel the Saturday, 30 May performance.

Six weeks after the B-52s released their brilliant first album in the hot new wave summer of 1979, they found themselves on-stage in Boston opening for Talking Heads.

Between the years 1715 and 1730, a series of exceptionally favorable circumstances occurred at the Court of Dresden, most notably the presence of remarkably skilled players, especially in the ranks of oboes and bassoons. The focus of the present album, consisting almost entirely of world première recordings, on period instruments, is on Johann David Heinichen. His compositional attention seems to concentrate on the oboe, producing a series of pages which show a treatment of the shapes and affects being surely the result of great talent, skill and artistic intelligence, as clearly demonstated beyond any doubt in the compositions collected in this recording.
