Review
A very special vintage concert performance by one of the most critically acclaimed bands to come out of the San Francisco 60s psychedelic rock movement, Quicksilver Messenger Service!

Features the classic line-up performing their entire second album, Happy Trails - ranked at #189 on Rolling Stone s list of the 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time!


What looks like a pretty exciting release is actually just a re-packaging of Quicksilver Messenger Service's 2nd album "Happy Trail" (1968). Just compare the track listing and the timings between the two: they are pretty identical.

How Purple Pyramid Records (a subsidy of Cleopatra Records) can get away with this obvious rip-off is beyond me, especially since BGO records (UK) just released a remastered "Happy Trails" in 2010.

Purple Pyramid's "shiny" new cover art is kinda interesting, but that's about it. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Capitol Records ends up suing the pants off of Purple Pyramid for copyright infringement.

As far as the music, this is prime Quicksilver Messenger Service. Live, improvisational and spontaneous. If you don't already have this in your QMS collection, this one is a must. The sound is exceptional with good stereo separation. Hard to believe this is even a live recording at all.


Thank you for the heads up about this being a mere reissue. I've had it in my wish list for a while but won't be buying it now.

I've been ripped off before, but never this blatantly! I scoured the web before I bought this CD as I already had Happy Trails on LP and I was wary of the identical track listing and the fact that it was amazing that unreleased live stuff from Quicksilver Messenger Service from 1969 had eluded all of us fanatics up until the present. The inside liner note that someone posted stated that this was an unknown performance from 1969 and the last one with Gary Duncan and made no mention that this was merely a reissue of Happy Trails, albeit with inferior sound quality; so I figured that this CD was a dream come true for us Quicksilver freaks. I'm still incredulous that Purple Pyramid could pull off a stunt like this and not be aware of the damage to their reputation! I mean, like, what were they thinking?

TONY WILLIAMS - EMERGENCY!

Tony Williams - "Emergency!" (1969) @320


During Tony Williams' stint with Miles Davis, he displayed an unparalleled mastery of time and texture, suggesting at once the meter-less pulsations of Milford Graves and Sonny Murray, and the polyrhythmic swing of Max Roach, Art Blakey and Philly Joe Jones. The Davis rhythm section (Williams, bassist Ron Carter, pianist Herbie Hancock) learned to superimpose fresh harmonies and rhythms on top of a flexible basic pulse, driven along by the drummer's percolating hi-hat. And when the band broke up, each member gravitated towards some aspect of the emerging new pop music: The Beatles, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix. And if Herbie felt the funk, Tony wanted to rock, and to that end he formed the most slamming, freewheeling organ trio in the history of jazz.

Emergency!, and its companion, Turn It Over, are about as good as it gets. Completely groundbreaking when released, the sound is avante garde even today. Williams plays like a man possessed and McLaughlin, whose guitar virtuosity carries more purpose and funk than it would later in his Mahavishnu Orchestra work, has never been better. The third member of this unlikely trio, organist Larry Young, contributes enormously to the sound's uniqueness with smeared chords that appear according to some unfathomable logic, he is always surprising and interesting.

The Tony Williams Lifetime played so loud that on club dates Williams needed monitors to hear the drums. Hard to imagine just three people produced this tidal wave of music. The singing is forgettable, although not horrible. But the melding of rock, blues, and jazz is truly astonishing. This has been called the first fusion album, and it's true that Williams, along with McLaughlin, were, in collaboration with Miles Davis, at the very edge of fusion. Whether it's the first can be debated, what's indisputable is the way Emergency! raises the bar for rock and jazz, from the vantage points of technical excellence, daring, and sheer unbridled intensity. A must-have recording. By El Lagarto (Ambler, PA).



Williams's group Lifetime, which looked on paper like an organ jazz-funk trio, produced in 1969 this headlong hybrid from jazz complexity and rock immediacy. Williams, fresh from edging Davis towards his jazz-rock-soul period, concocts a driving, high-volume fusion that has more conviction and flare than anyone else's would until the advent of the great Mahavishnu Orchestra a couple of years later. That band was led by Williams's collaborator here, John McLaughlin, as blistering and savvy a guitarist as any jazz-rock saw. Larry Young's organ is a skirmishing juggernaut, clearing and blasting into space above, behind, beneath, and between the drummer's crashing, jittering rhythms. A cautionary note: To be sure, Williams's singing on Emergency! is brave, at best, but it is blessedly limited. By Peter Monaghan.

THE RUNAWAYS - Japanese Singles Collection

The Runaways - Japanese Singles Collection


This collection brings all the band's Japanese singles for the first time together on CD. As a career overview the singles album is a perfect introduction to the Queens Of Noise, arguably the most perfect all-American girl rock band ever... with great simple riffs and choruses...

The Runaways were formed in L.A. and guided by Kim Fowley. At the time of formation, the band members aged 16-17 years old and soon went on to sign a record deal with Mercury Records.

This collection brings all the band's Japanese singles for the first time together on CD. The Runaways enjoyed huge success across Europe and Japan. With the band's various line ups, Joan Jett, Lita Ford and crew enjoyed a high profile through their singles releases and their exceptional live shows. This CD features all the band's highly collectable Japanese picture cover single sleeves, lyrics, discography and sleeve notes. Also, the CD features 2 bonus tracks, the UK single "Right Now" and it's b-side "Black Leather". This was to be the band's last single release.


There's no denying the Runaways' immense contribution to rock music. But that said, their studio recordings never truly reflected the raunchy punk attitude of their live shows. So perhaps the best way to experience the Runaways nowadays (since the band is long gone) is to start off with a "best-of" compilation, such as 2008's import set Japanese Singles Collection. As its title suggests, what you get are all of the band's singles issued in Japan (where the group was absolutely huge), in a pretty impressively assembled package -- which includes lyrics, discography, sleeve notes, etc. All of your favorite Runaways classics are included here, including "Cherry Bomb" (how this song didn't become an arena-shaking anthem remains a head-scratcher), "Blackmail," and "I Love Playing with Fire" (which along with "Cherry Bomb" would be re-recorded by Joan Jett early in her solo career), among countless others -- including the group's last-ever U.K. single, "Right Now," and its B-side, "Black Leather" (the latter penned by ex-Sex Pistols Steve Jones and Paul Cook). For a single-disc set of Runaways classics, Japanese Singles Collection is pretty hard to beat.
