This is it, the classic double LP from CBGB's that was instrumental in putting national focus on the "new wave",  a brilliant handle comparing the next generation of garage and underground rockers to French cinema. Warren Stahurski may not be a household name, and the band that he fronted, Manster, shares the same fate, but Manster's quirky cover of the Yardbirds' "Over, Under, Sideways, Down" is charming in this setting. Robert Gordon launched from the Tuff Darts, and his penchant for rockabilly lost him some of those fans who were turned on by "All for the Love of Rock & Roll" or the even more notorious "Slash" -- bookends that open and close the four sides comprising Live at CBGB's: The Home of Underground Rock. Annie Golden put a voice to the highly experimental pop of the Shirts, and Capitol Records snapped them up along with Willy "Mink" DeVille. The Shirts' "Operetico" is still novel today. They, the Tuff Darts, and DeVille get three songs each of the 16 spots available, and there are two each for Laughing Dogs and Manster, while Sun, the Miamis, and Stuart's Hammer are fortunate with the inclusion of one track each. At six minutes and 42 seconds, DeVille's "Cadillac Walk" is a sort of Rolling Stones "Memory Motel-type epic. Craig Leon co-produced with Kim King, and this no doubt led to Leon's production deal with MCA Records. As legend has it, DJ Debbie Frost played Leon a Willie "Loco" Alexander 45 rpm on the jukebox at the Rat nightclub in Boston, and he signed the Boom Boom Band to MCA. It's key to this story because the Rat proprietor, Jim Harold, modeled his Live at the Rat compilation after Hilly Kristal's work; while Alexander far and away gave the most impressive performance, five of the Boston acts went on to major label deals, clearly owing a debt to Live at CBGB's. The Laughing Dogs have a Mott the Hoople-type attitude, while Manster's "I'm Really Not This Way" has some of the innovation that Television embraced. Tom Verlaine's manager, Terry Ork, is thanked, but the exclusion of that band, as well as Patti Smith, Blondie, and other eventual stars, was a serious oversight. A minor act but potent force, Wayne County also deserves his/her 15 minutes for the sake of history. Maybe tapes that are sure to exist will surface and expand this amazing project. Until that time, one of the ultimate hate songs, "Slash," has Robert Gordon belt out the immortal line "I'd rather slash my wrist and cut my throat than spend the night with you," concluding this pioneering compilation. It was a historic moment in rock & roll, and this document is a time capsule treasure of the musical movement as it was evolving.

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID).

(b)            The records are  apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
