Johnny Thunders' live shows were usually inconsistent affairs, and the live CDs that document them are usually equally shambling, full of inane between-song patter by a seemingly narcotized star. IN THE FLESH however, recorded at a 1987 show at Hollywood's Roxy, is a stunning exception.
Backed by former New York Dolls bandmates Arthur Kane on bass and Jerry Nolan on drums, Thunders roars through a tight, no-nonsense set of his own songs (including Dolls oldies) and typically well-chosen covers (a great "I Ain't Superstitious"). His vocals and guitar are always totally focused and powerful, in particular on the surprising unplugged interlude, where it's just him and acoustic guitar. For those who have wondered what the fuss was all about, this album--perhaps even more than Thunders' studio peak, SO ALONE--is the place to start.
Recorded live at the Roxy Theatre, Los Angeles, California on April 4, 1987. Includes liner notes by Bill Holdship.

| | Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland CD (1968)
In The Flesh CD music
$9.65 Principally recorded at the Record Plant, New York, New York in April and May 1968.
On ELECTRIC LADYLAND Jimi Hendrix stretched and experimented in the studio, going beyond the power-trio format on what would be his last studio album with the Experience. ELECTRIC LADYLAND was revolutionary in its scope and execution. Using New York City's Record Plant as a gateway to free expression, Hendrix traversed an abstract landscape containing compositions as weird and wonderful as "...And The Gods Made Love" and "1983...(A Merman I Should Turn To Be)."
Simultaneously looking forwards and backwards, Hendrix mixed ...

| | Gary Numan Pleasure Principle: 30th Anniversary Edition CD (1979) Bonus Tracks; Reissue
In The Flesh music CDs
$10.15 THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE contains seven bonus tracks which includes demo out-takes and `B' side singles.
Gary Numan's most commercially successful album is, perhaps unsurprisingly, his least representative disc. Powered by the hit single "Cars," arguably the first British synth-pop song to dent the US charts (M's "Pop Muzik" came out around the same time), THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE is a striking turnaround from the guitar-powered, Joy Division-like post-punk of his old band Tubeway Army. Aside from Paul Gardiner's bass and some percussion, every instrument is electronic.
To denote their futuristic simplicity the album's 10 songs are given one-word titles; they're all built on the same layers of analogue synthesizers and futuristic, dystopian lyrics. The album's resulting numbing quality is also pretty much its point. This Cleopatra reissue has seven bonus tracks, including demo outtakes, live tracks, B-sides, and, oddly, a ...
