Description

Personally signed by original Rolling Stones pianist Ian Stewart, who produced and plays on this terrific recording. A stellar line-up featuring Alexis Korner, Charlie Watts, Jack Bruce and more.
A lovely clean original 1981 first-pressing release of this album. 
Quoted directly from album notes written by Ian Stewart:
This album was recorded under less than ideal conditions at the Rotation Club in Hanover, West Germany - where the stage is 20 feet above the floor and most people watch from the sides. For some reason, the band was on fire that night, despite a long bus ride and the odd hangover or two. Although acoustically the club left much to be desired, I feel we have achieved one of the best live albums ever, with the sort of feeling that is never achieved in studios. Jack Bruce in particular played his ass off; and by the time "Roll 'Em Pete" ended the set, his fingers were bleeding profusely from playing double bass - something he has only rarely done in recent years. Although the album was recorded on 24 tracks, there are no instrumental overdubs. Everything is as it was on that night, and the editing scissors were only used on one number so that we could have four tracks on side two.
In short, it's a bloody amazing record of an extraordinary show.
Coming from a pet-free, smoke-free home, I'll post out by Royal Mail Tracked 48 service, free of charge.
Please do have a look at my other rare items on eBay.
