Now this is a totally amazing box set… Iimagine following Steve HACKETT and his band of merry men as they trek thru the 70's , 80's and 90's!. This box set contains 3 of Steve's personal most memorable shows. The first 2 CD's are devoted to a complete show from 1978 at Hammersmith Odeon drawing on material from "Spectral Mornings", "Please Don't Touch", "Voyage Of The Acolyte" and even some small GENESIS ditties. Overall the recording is quite sweet considering the age of the archive and was nicely preserved in its entirity, complete with all cheering and encores… basically untouched in its beautiful entirity. Next step is the dark ages of the 80's with an absolute ripper of an evening in Rome Italy. This 3rd CD draws more from "Defector" and "Cured" with drumming by MARILLION's Ian Mosely. Once again Steve's guitar and band sound stunning… My only negative comment is the lack lustre recording on this 80's show… although not badly recorded it does sound slighly less full than the other CD's… The 4th CD is from London's Grand Theatre in 1993 featuring the music and tour of "Guitar Noir" (which I was able to see in Toronto a few years back now!). This is a superbly well recorded live show which captures some of Steve's most wonderful guitar playing and singing you will hear… Overall a great box set and it also comes with a little book full of wonderful pictures and nive penmanship of our artist in question… ladies and gentlemen… Steve HACKETT…

+ Barack The Barbarian: Quest For The Treasure Of Stimuli Issues#1-2

A spoof in the tradition of Mad Magazine, the 4-issue miniseries took its cue when US President Barack Obama mentioned he collected Conan the Barbarian comics as a kid. Published by Devil's Due Publishing and written by Larry Hama and drawn by Christopher Schons, it is set in a time of swords and sorcery. A gathering of children listen as a shaman retells the legend of Barack the Barbarian. Riding in on a donkey, Barack the Barbarian is determined to set things right in the city of Warshingstun, “where every word uttered was lie, and every soul was for sale. A place where men traded dark secrets and openly peddled a powerful drug named Influence.” The political jokes and gags fly fast and furious; the first issue really kicks into high gear when Red Sarah, the Fighting Queen of the North, appears. The same thing holds true for the second issue. I hate to say it, but... I want more of Red Sarah!

Despite leaving Iron Maiden for a spell in the '90s, Bruce Dickinson's solo efforts were not that dramatically different than his albums with Maiden. In fact, quite a few tracks could have fit on such albums as Fear of the Dark with no problem. Thus, it shouldn't come as a surprise that two live sets from Dickinson's '90s solo era sound as if he's fronting Iron Maiden. In 2005, these concert sets, 1995's Alive in Studio A/Alive at the Marquee and 1999's Scream for Me Brazil, were compiled together as a three-disc set, Alive…

From the opening four notes of Michael Henderson's hypnotically minimal bass that open the unedited master of "On the Corner," answered a few seconds later by the swirl of color, texture, and above all rhythm, it becomes a immediately apparent that Miles Davis had left the jazz world he helped to invent – forever. The 19-minute-and-25-second track has never been issued in full until now. It is one of the 31 tracks in The Complete On the Corner Sessions, a six-disc box recorded between 1972 and 1975 that centers on the albums On the Corner, Get Up with It, and the hodgepodge leftovers collection Big Fun. It is also the final of eight boxes in the series of Columbia's studio sessions with Davis from the 1950s through 1975, when he retired from music before his return in the 1980s. Previously issued have been Davis' historic sessions with John Coltrane in the first quintet, the Gil Evans collaborations, the Seven Steps to Heaven recordings, the complete second quintet recordings, and the complete In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew, and Jack Johnson sessions. There have been a number of live sets as well; the most closely related one to this is the live Cellar Door Sessions 1970, issued in 2005.
