New Easy Action ‘Theatre of Cruelty’ CD box!

Very interesting, i'm try to check it!

When disc one of the TOC set was first released on the Heavy Liquid box set many years ago I didn't pay it much mind. I dismissed it as lo-fi filler. There was more interesting, higher fidelity stuff like an unreleased Morgan Theatre rehearsal. End of story.

But with this release I decided to revisit it with an open mind. And I was rewarded in kind. This is an incredible performance , one of the band's best. The great thing about these Whisky recordings is that they have a very egalitarian mix. Unlike the Raw Power album, which I love, but where Ron was buried in the mix , every member is as prominent as everybody else and has a chance to shine. And Ron is one damn fine bass player. This is a BAND.

That's for sure! Unique piece of history! I'm listen this concerts day by day... I have a very big music library, but this place is very unique and special for my heart & mind! I'm already created a rip of all Stooges shows, released by Easy Action and full Iguana Chronicles serie from BOMP! and put it to my player in permament!
