Those remasters just keep on coming...
As far as live albums from the 70s go, this is a real gem, captured when BÖC were at the peak of their popularity, packing out venues and bewildering and bemusing all with their sci-fi and codoccult musings. What was always puzzling, however, was why this was only ever a single album, given the breadth and depth of the band’s live performance.
This remastered version doubles the number of tracks. The bonus Hot Rails To Hell is awesome, and the guitar and bass solo duelling of 5 Guitars is suitably over the top. Why there’s a second version of We Gotta Get Out Of This Place is a mystery, though.
