From the "Blues Night" session which was a no frills, spontaneous, ad libbed, one take masterpiece.
Of the eighteen songs originally recorded that night, only "Graveyard of Losers" found it's way onto the B side of "The Meltdown" in April 1979.
"The Shah is Gone" got it's share of immediate radio airplay, and notoriety, but was never commercially released.
The session tape then languished in the storage can until producer Bob Greenlee resurrected it in 1987.
Eleven of the tracks were released on an album entitled "Left for Dead" on Greenlee's King Snake Records label.
Yet, it would be another quarter century until the session tape would merit a re release on compact disc.
Only days ago, "Left for Dead" resurfaced on CD courtesy of Rip Bang Records.
It includes two welcome bonus tracks; "The Shah is Gone", and "Space Ship Boogie".
As fate would have it, four songs still remain unreleased, and as I see no prospects of the songs ever being included elsewhere....
I present them to you in this way.
