a rare 1974 recording only available on vinyl I believe. Anyway, if you like this sort of music I'd highly recommend it.

Havent come across the label before Dermot. It's certainly not the best pressing I've come across but thankfully it didnt take away from the enjoyment of the record.

Exactly what I thought you'd say :-)))....and you're right. AFAIK it's a Russian label. They did a good job of two rare Fleetwood Mac albums ( Boston Live - 4 Lp set and Live in London '68 plus
cd) aesthetically speaking but the sonics left a lot to be desired. To tell the truth they actually improved on previous inferior versions, sonically speaking but the bootleg quality still prevailed, I'm afraid. No problem to me but I'd hesitate recommending the label to anyone else with audiophile leanings.... But I think the very first Lilith album I got was a Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green double Lp which collected his complete Bluesbreaker's output. Now that was a beauty sonically and aesthetically speaking....and, of course, the music is sublime.Still available as I speak in Freebird ;-) Actually it's on the Vinyl Lovers label, another Russian pressing I think...Just found out that it's actually a sub-label of Lilith?

how is that Dave? While I like a bit of Ben Harper I've always found him a tad lightweight. The company of the Blind Boys might help 'up his game' a bit and I was curious about this one.
