Why? Because (1) the original LP version was never released in the States, and (2) for some reason it was never on CD anywhere till 2022 (on some difficult to find non-US label).
Oh, and which, BTW, you can now get from Amazon for...dig this... two hundred bucks.
I mean -- what?
Weird!!!
Anyway: While browsing some Shocking Blue videos the other day, I discovered to my delighted surprise that said album -- complete -- is now up on YouTube for free.
Je repete -- complete. For free. Can you freaking believe it?
Anywhere, here's the link and enjoy! It's actually a really good album!!!
Have I mentioned that YouTube is the contemporary version of the Library at Alexandria? 😎
It's the 5th cd in the 13 cd Box set "The Blue Box" which can be had much cheaper!
ReplyDeleteAlso available streaming
ReplyDeleteI got it a few years ago from a now defunct download site....
ReplyDeleteWhat is the Blue Box?

DeleteWow, a Japanese eBay store - original pressing asking @ $35 for Live In Japan. Let's hope the Tariffs don't affect it 😉

"Hot Sand," the flipside of "Venus" is killer.

you can really hear the Grace Slick in her singing here
ReplyDeleteGlad that there is another set of ears that hear what I hear 😁
DeleteHot Sands is better than Venus in my opinion.
