Hi Everyone,
I got my copy today and have just finished playing the two cd's.
(will watch the Dvd later)
Verdict:- Fantastic !!
I dont want to spoil it for you, but this box set is a real must have if you like the 'Kiln House' era lineup.
Highlights :- Well quite alot really,but I now know why they chose
'Madison Blues' as the title. Jeremy Spencer really does steal the show. Go straight to disc 2 and play LOUD. The band are 'ON FIRE'
with Jeremy leading the way. Just listen to his blistering version of 'Preaching Blues' together with the title track and 'Dust My Broom'. Also John's bass lines on track 2 'Purple Dancer' are truly awesome. We also get a NEW track from Danny called 'Open the Door' together with some great lead guitar on 'Station Man'.
Jeremy rounds it all up with 'Jailhouse Rock' and his Elvis impersonation sans 'Teenage Darling' and a rocking 'Honey Hush'.
Disc 1 also has some good tracks including 'Down at The Crown' and some solo Christine tracks with her band before she joined the Mac.
The notes,tracklisting etc, together with some nice photos not forgetting the discs come in a purple colour box which is really good value.
I look forward to other Ledge's reviews and verdicts on this important release.
P.S. I bet you all can't wait to get your mits on a copy !!
Blue Horizon.
