Before his death in January, legendary guitarist Jeff Beck revisited concert recordings made by Beck, Bogert & Appice, the power trio he formed in 1972 with drummer/singer Carmine Appice and bassist/singer Tim Bogert. The live music captures the band at the beginning and end of its short-but-influential partnership, with two shows in Japan in 1973 and one of the group's final performances in London a year later.<br/><br/>All three band members were involved in creating LIVE IN JAPAN 1973, LIVE IN LONDON 1974, and the collection is dedicated to Beck and Bogert, who died in 2023 and 2021, respectively. The set includes an expansive booklet with extended liner notes detailing the group's history by music journalist/manager Bruce Pilato, along with memorabilia, archival photos, and a replica poster.<br/><br/>Beck and Appice mixed all the concerts in this set from the original multi-tracks that had been in Beck's archive for almost 50 years, thus knocking the many bootleg quality releases, that Beck hated, out of the park! The two performances at Koseinenkin Hall in Osaka, Japan (recorded May 18 and 19, 1973) were released exclusively in Japan a few months after the shows, but never in the U.S. The complete concert at the Rainbow Theatre in London, England (recorded January 26, 1974) has never been released anywhere. <br/><br/>In the booklet, Pilato explores the short existence and lasting legacy of Beck, Bogert & Appice, a supergroup that critics once hailed as "the first successor to Cream" (Melody Maker) and an "ensemble of virtually unparalleled magnificence" (NME). <br/><br/>LIVE IN JAPAN 1973 was recorded only a few weeks after Beck, Bogert & Appice's self-titled debut came out. The music ripples with raw energy as the group delivers exhilarating live versions of nearly every song on the album, including "Superstition," "Lady," and "Livin' Alone." The trio also played songs by the Yardbirds ("Jeff's Boogie") and the Jeff Beck Group ("Morning Dew" and "Going Down.")

Den engelsk-amerikanska gruppen Black Country Communion som består av sångaren och basisten Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Trapeze), trummisen Jason Bonham (Led Zeppelin, Foreigner), keyboardisten Derek Sherinian (Dream Theatre, Alice Cooper, Billy Idol) samt blues-rock gitarristen och sångaren Joe Bonamassa släpper sitt efterlängtade fjärde album - det första studioalbumet sedan 2013 års Afterglow.<br/><br/>Liksom med bandets tidigare plattor övesågs inspelningen av BCC IV av Kevin Shirley vars arbete med Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, Journey och The Black Crowes gjort honom till en av rockmusikens mest eftertraktade producenter. Det var han som fick idén om att sätta ihop ett band med Hughes och Bonamassa efter att ha sett dem jamma på scen i Los Angeles 2009. Han räknas som gruppens inofficielle femte medlem.

Bandet med nio liv tackar för sig!<br/>"Unikt" är ett av det svenska språkets mest slitna ord, men ibland håller det faktiskt vad det lovar. För i den svenska pophistorien kommer Gyllene Tider alltid att ha en unik plats. <br/> <br/>Alla skäl till detta finns på den här slutgiltiga Gyllene Tider-samlingen på vinyl, med 21 klassiker och två outgivna guldkorn: "Filmen om ditt liv" från inspelningarna av "Finn 5 fel!" och "Detektiv" från "Samma skrot och korn". Som extra bonus kommer även "Du är en gangster, älskling!", tidigare utgiven på den numera utgångna samlingen "Halmstads pärlor". <br/> <br/>Vi tackar Gyllene Tider för 40 redan klassiska år. <br/><br/>Vi tackar Gyllene Tider för 40 redan klassiska år.
