EXTENDED VERSIONS: THE ENCORE COLLECTION

Or rather; I was not as cynical, morally depraved and money grabbing as the label owner who released this album. The "art" here is to grab a live album from the nearest record shop from a popular artist, dismantle it and then paste the songs together as a new and exlusive live album. I have seen this done on Gentle Giant and on Rennaissance albums. The King Biscuit live albums is popular items for shoplifters, make that record label managers like this.

This piece of of live album suffers from a bad pair of scissors and some dodgy glue. In short; the editing is abysmal bad. My guess is that the label manager sniffed the glue during the editing. That explains the punctuated live performance and total lack of dynamics here. Unfortunate for this label manager; this band has released some really superb live album. Comparing those with this shoddy offering is like comparing a sunny day with a black night.

This is a criminally shoddy live album which gives both the band and the music industry a bad name. Period.
