Glasgow 1972 2nd Night is Lighthouse's two disc set from Greens
Playhouse, Glasgow, Scotland on December 4th, 1972. This comes from
a newly surfaced alternate recording patched with older source to make
this new version more complete. A slight improvement in the quality,
this set is still for more advanced collectors only.
December
19th, 2020

Wendy Records is the very first label with recently surfaced audience
alternate source for Glasgow on December 4th, 1972. As usual, standard
jewel case is armed with obi. The title is Glasgow A Go Go and
it's two disc set.

L.Z. In Providence is another two disc set from Wendy, this time
reissuing audience tape from Providence on July 21st, 1973. Again, the
set is armed with obi.

Finally, Empress Valley had reissued four Maryland May 1977 shows in
lavish box set. The reissue is simply titled Maryland Moonshine
and contains four individual sleeves for each of the shows assembled.
A standard obi is included.
December
2nd, 2020
The continuous reissue saga is on and as always, Lighthouse had issued
two shows that have been released dozens of times, in multiple forms.
Anyway, it seems that there's still a market for this so here we go!

Listen To This Eddie: Mike Millard Master Tapes: New Edition
is a triple set featuring the latest version of The Forum, Inglewood,
CA on June 21st, 1977. Likely due to a huge demand the label had decided
to reissue this show again.

Long Beach Arena 1975 1st Night: Mike Millard Master Cassettes: Flat
Transfer is another triple set from Long Beach Arena, Long Beach,
CA on March 11th, 1975. Again, the first edition was sold out so quickly
that they did not hesitate with reissuing this.
November
27th, 2020
It seems that end of year is a very productive time for the labels.
Just couple of days after as recently surfaced soundboard of the first
night in LA 1975 has been released, Empress Valley announced their new
title, per another recently issued Bootleg License set by T2K.

The Wizard Of Oz is deluxe 9 disk set covering audience and soundboard
sources for the Long Beach Arena, CA on March 11th, 1975 show. Limited
strictly to 100 numbered copies and armed with a small booklet and sticker,
this lavish set features three individual glossy gatefold sleeves housed
in hinged open box and these as follows:
- Mike Millard Master Tapes
as Mastered Edition;
- Mike Millard Master Tapes
as Millard Flat Transfer Edition;
- Special Bonus as Mastered
Soundboard Version.
Nothing new here this time, but this is a great chance to get Millard
superb recording, along with great sounding soundboard source in one
package.
November
24th, 2020

As expected, Eelgrass label had just decided to reissue recently surfaced
new soundboard for March 24th, 1975 show that took place in famous Los
Angeles Forum, and paired it up with already existing fragment of newly
circulated Bloomington soundboard tape on January 18th, 1975, along
with few extra studio outtakes. The set is simply titled All Is Safe
For Rock And Roll and it utulizes standard fat jewel vase obi housing
four silver discs inside.
November
14th, 2020
A complete
soundboard of Los Angeles Forum on March 24th 1975, previously circulating
as one hour portion fragment on special bonus disc entitled The Night
Stalker, has been just released by the Empress Valley Supreme Disc
label, and as with all past soundboard revolution series, is available
in two different versions.



Jesus
is deluxe hinged open hard cartoon special box set featuring the complete
soundboard on three discs, adding special bonus disc of previously unresolved
version of Candy Store Rock, 108-page photo booklet and three cards.
This set is strictly limited to 100 numbered copies only.

The
Awesome Foursome Live At The Forum is deluxe glossy gatefold sleeve
featuring the newly circulating complete soundboard only. This set is
not numbered and is limited to 200 copies and is dedicated for those,
who weren't able to purchase collector's edition of this new source.
November
3rd, 2020



Tarantura2000 had just announced that they will release a special third
edition of Bootleg License set - and similarly to past editions
- it will come in a lavish glossy cardboard box with a magnet on the
site to hold the upper flap down, housing two thick tri-fold cardboard
sleeves for each of the shows. This edition will be available in three
different versions, which are strictly limited and numbered to 75 copies
only.
It was told that for the very first time the label used upgraded sources
for both dates to improve its quality. March 11th is a source mix between
three different Mike Millard copies, and fills with alternate audience
tape in parts, where basic source isn't achieved. March 12th is reported
to be sourced from a newly transferred alternate audience tape that
stands only a step below from Millard source, which is used for last
four songs.
Mastered by mysterious Enigma, this new title looks very promising.
From the description given, it should give us the opportunity to collect
most complete and best sounding versions of each of the shows assembled
in gorgeous packaging.
October
31st, 2020
The recently surfcaed audience tape for Detroit July 13th, 1973 show
found its place with three new releases, all have been issued simultaneously
in the exact same manner, adding partial soundboard source as special
bonus.

Friday The 13th is Empress Valley four disc set, packaged in
glossy gatefold sleeve and adding bonus disc in a separate paper sleeve.

Detroit Rock City 1973 Volume 2 is Graf Zeppelin set, collecting
exact same order of sources, packaged in fat boy jewel case and with
a sticker and strict limitation.

Detroit 1973 2nd Night is Lighthouse's four disc set, and as
with above two, featuring newly found audience tape on first three discs,
while the fourth disc is dedicated to the partial soundboard fragment
from the end of the show.

Wendy also released new title, reissuing the old tape from Boston Tea
Party on January 25th, 1969. The double disc set is stupidly titled
The Golden Age Of Pirates and incorrectly attributed to the
now defunct old date of May 19th.

To close this marathon, Graf Zeppelin released also a bunch of early
shows. Texas Two Steps: Definitive Edition is double disc set
covering Dallas March 29th and Houston March 30th shows, both from group's
Autumn 1970 North American tour. As usual, the set is strictly limited
and stickered.
October
28th, 2020

Listen To This, Eddie: Mike Millard Master Tapes is the newest
Lighthouse production. This six disc set featuring both a Flat
Transfer and Mastered Edition of the recently surfaced
Mike Millard's master tape clone from The Forum, Inglewood, CA on June
21st, 1977. This is limited to 50 sets only, and as expected, reissues
already circulating stuff.
October
21st, 2020

Yet just another Lighthouse version of Eddie hit the streets,
this time with a so called flat transfer. A triple disc set, titled
Listen To This, Eddie: Mike Millard Master Tapes: Flat Transfer
offers absolutely nothing new, and as with their previous versions,
it is more dedicated to trainspotters.
October
14th, 2020

As expected, with a recently surfaced Eddie master, more labels are
come to release this in its entirety. The latest Graf Zeppelin triple
set is simply titled Listen To This, Eddie, and features a full
show sourced from DAT transfer of a master tape.



Empress Valley has also released their own version, copying master tape
and embossing this with three different unique sets, each with different
packaging. The first is just an old Eddie version, while second
and third are exclusively Flat and Mastered transfers. Simply titled
Listen To This, Eddie is label's tenth version of this legendary
concert.
October
7th, 2020

Recently surfaced master copy of famous Mike Millard recording for June
21th, 1977 show founds its way to Lighthouse's newest version of famous
Listen To This Eddie set, subtitled Mike Millard Master Tapes.
This triple disc set offers a straight torrent copy and those of you,
who expected a significant upgrade here, might be dissapointed. The
master tape doesn't only sound better than genuine 1st gen copies, but
lacks also some depth and bottom end known from previous versions of
this legendary performance.
September
2nd, 2020
Two new releases have been announced for the start of Autumn this year.
Both giving us some retrospective as both are reissuing some old stuff.

Summer Jazz is a single disc from the Golden Eggs label and features
a source mix for Newport July 6th, 1969 show. It has been reported that
the quality is much upgraded and the main, better sounding source is
absolutely free from any speed issues that have plagued previous versions
of this remarkable gig.

Wendy is also ready with new set titled 1980 Munchen Mag Dich,
which is double disc collection combining audience sources for July
5th, 1980 show with Simon Kirke on additional drum kit for the final
encore.


As expected, Empress Valley has also released two new Yardbirds shows,
again with two tracks repeated on both recordings per taper's fault.
The title, Live Yardbirds, reproduces original artwork of 1971
Epic album and is numbered.
August
27th, 2020

Graf Zeppelin is ready with its newest title, a triple disc set titled
Electric Magic, featuring a complete audience recording for November
20th, 1971 show that took place during group's seventh UK tour. No info
is given if this is a new source or an old version of recording that's
in circulation for years. As always, the set is strictly limited to
200 numbered copies.

Not so often we can see any of The Yardbirds recordings floating around,
and especially those featuring Jimmy Page but just few days ago two
previously uncirculated audience tapes have survived. These are Fillmore
West July 1967 and Concord May 1968 California based shows and both
have been just released by the Lighthouse team under the title Fillmore
1967 & Concord 1968.
Unfortunately, the freely available copies are corrupted because first
two songs from Concord show are appeared on both torrents erroneously.
Per uploader's response this will be fixed soon so likely the label
is gonna reissue this set as well. A casual sticker and limited numbered
edition is included.
August
1st, 2020
Two new titles and two new reissues of material known from past
releases.

Bath Of The Blues 4 disk paper gatefold reissue of the set released
at the start of this year. Being reported as taken from confirmed Krishna
master, this title has been sold out very quickly, hence this reissue
id dedicated for those, who weren't able to purchase it yet. The set
is limited to 70 numbered copies.

Heavy Blues in 2 disk set of Paris October 10th, 1969 by the
Empress Valley Supreme Disc. It features exact same content as all other
titles including this show. Two versions of this set are available:
oversized jacked limited to 100 copies and standard gatefold sleeve
edition.
July
16th, 2020
The Graf Zeppelin label just announced four new titles, each
with material known from past releases but with some debuts on silvers
as bonus content. Each set is strictly limited to 200 numbered copies
and is supplied by the sticker.

Long Beach 1975 1st Night is five disc set containing two unique
tape sources for the March 11th show. The first three discs are dedicated
to the legendary Millard source, while other two are completely new
to silver second audience recording that has its debut here.

Soars Of Buffalo 1969 is double disc set containing October 30th,
1969 show that took place on Kleinhands Music Hall. The second disc
is completed with fragmentary tape from Kansas City on November 5th,
1969.

Cardif 1972 2nd Night is another double disc set, this time collecting
two very fragmentary performances: the first disc features December
12th, 1972 show on Capitol Theatre and the second disc is an excerpt
from Philadelphia June 13th, 1972 show, which has its debut on silvers.

Live From England 1972 is a triple disc set, which is a reissue
of their old title, this time supplied with a completely new artwork.
It collects Birmingham December 16th, 1972 and Brighton December 20th,
1972 shows.
July
9th, 2020

Long Beach Arena 1975 1st Night: Mike Millard Master Cassettes
is Lighthouse newest title containing famous Millard recording on March
11th, 1975. This features two versions with the final three discs labeled
Flat Transfer. Unfortunately, the "flat" version
(taken from freely available JEMS download) isn't as good as previous
copies of Millard recordings. It suffers from unnecessary EQ and tape
itself, used to produce this new set, is plagued by some unexpectable
physical issues not presented anywhere else.
June
27trh, 2020
Three new titles are on the way this week, all of them are just
reissuing material known from past titles and they all likely are dedicated
to more advanced collectors.

Maple Leaf Gardens is a four disc set containing two unique audience
and one soundboard sources for September 4th, 1971 show. Second audience
source has its debut here but since it's very fragmentary, it offers
nothing but just several minutes of alternate mixing. Few bonus tracks
are added and they're dimensional mixes between audience and soundboard
tapes. 200 numbered copies only.

Listen To This Eddie - 2nd Press is Lighthouse's reissue of the
set that has been already issued just few months ago. Standard sticker
and limitation is included.

Denmark 1969 is newest product from Wendy. It collects both Brondby
from March 15th early show and Copenhagen from March 15th late show,
it also offers DVD with three unique versions of Copenhagen march 17th
TV appearance as black & white and colorized versions.
June
16th, 2020

two individual gatefold sleeves per each show and two types of artwork
are released as well, each is limited to 77 numbered copies.
June
3, 2020

Detroit 1973 is Lighthouse's answer to the recently released
T2K set of two unique sources from the show that took place in Cobo
Hall on July 12th, 1973. This six disc set includes each recording per
three discs. Some initial copies will include a (pressed) bonus disc

May 28th,
2020

The Milky Way Express is newest title from Wendy Records, a two
disc set containing audience recording from Nassau Coliseum, New York
on June 15th, 1972. Nothing new here, as it's just another reissue of
the old stuff, packaged in standard jewel case and obi.
May 9th,
2020


The Band That Beat The Beatles is the next release from T2K label.
This six disc set collects two audience sources for Cobo Hall, Detroit
show on July 12th, 1973. The first three discs are dedicated to upgraded
copy of already known excellent sounding recording and next three discs
are containing fully uncirculated new tape that has been liberated just
few weeks before. Two artwork versions are available - the Blimp
cover and the Starship cover. Each is limited to 73 numbered
copies.
Since last two titles met with quite positive feedback from the
collectors, we should expect that this time the label put a neccessary
efoort to contribute to this and kept the quality eventually.
April
29th, 2020

Seattle 1977 is Lighthouse's newest production. This is a triple
disc set containing stereo soundboard from the Kingdome, Seattle, WA
on July 17th, 1977.

together in varying levels & combinations: AUD sources 1-3 and SBD.

Wendy also released their own version of October 12th, 1969 show, and
they simply titled it Live At The Lyceum Theatre London 1969,
which is similar to Graf Zeppelin set.

better than any past title. The set is strictly limited to 70 numbered

Empress Valley's six disc set Please Please Me, and contains

No news this time but a BIG APPEAL to everyone, whom the situation in
Australia isn't unmoved. Since November last year, the Australian theritory
has been fighting with the biggest fires since ages.
Quoting one of resources, "Hundreds of fires over weeks have
burnt over 4 million hectares of land in NSW alone. Many animals were
already struggling with a lack of water and food due to the drought.
With the fires destroying unprecedented amounts of habitat, food shortages
have increased and lack of suitable habitat will be a significant long-term
challenge for surviving wildlife.
It is impossible to know how many animals have perished and it will
be many months before the impact on wild populations can be better understood
but ecologists at Sydney University have estimated over 800 million
animals have been affected in Australia since September."
The situation is truly tragic, as the fires are still ongoing throughout
the land, and scientists have said that no less than 450 millions of
animals had died because of that fatal scenario. Many Australian citizens
have also suffered much, and they have been either evacuated or lost
their properties.
In 2007 I've spent three great weeks, visiting Australia, and NSW especially,
living in the north suburbs of Sydney, meeting lots of great people
and tripping throughout the theritory and was mesmerizing of the beauty
landscapes and richness of its flora and fauna.
If anyone of you, dear readers, had decided to support Australians and
its unique nature, please follow these three links and donate these
institutions. This is something we can do to help rescuing this unremarkably
and lovely land.
Thank you!
