 Roxy Music - Foolproof. The 1975 Tour Of The United States

N.B. nice artwork here to from the master Norman Lyndsay master of the weird AND erotic!
Check him out too!
Though as I have said before I wasn’t really so much of a fan after Eno left Roxy Music but it took a while to register what was going on and this is early enough for me to believe  XRay when he says they blow the roof off so you pays yer money and you takes yer choice! Oh that’s right you don’t have to! Check it out anyway, it enticed me just from what XRay said

Roxy Music tears the roof off the joint in this bootleg recorded in 1974/1975…

Xray says: Recorded live in New York City and “L’Secret L’ocation” in 1975.

The Amazing Kornyfone Record Label (TAKRL) was one of the first bootlegging record labels in America. Kornyfone was based in Southern California in the 1970s. The label released albums from such artists as The Beatles, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Joni Mitchell, Pink Floyd, Genesis, and others. Kornyfone was noted for their packaging, with interesting artwork and informative covers.

According to Clinton Heylin, “Though Dub’s output [at TMQ] in the five years separating Great White Wonder from Tales from The Who had outstripped any of his competitors, TMQ’s catalogue pales alongside what Ken and co. unleashed between 1974 and the end of 1976. A hundred-plus titles from the flagship label, The Amazing Kornyphone Record Label, were supplemented by represses of Smokin’ Pig titles, thirty-two titles on TKRWM (The Kornyphone Records for the Working Man), a dozen double-albums on Singer’s Original Double Discs (SODD) and sixteen releases on Highway High Fi Collector’s Edition Records (HHCER) (which regularly appeared with TAKRL or Smokin’ Pig labels - just to add to the confusion).” The TAKRL label was active between 1974 -1977. In 1978 they re-pressed some of their titles with black and white covers. — wikipedia

I tried to find something of replaceable quality on line from 1975 but could really find anything even parallel to ‘blowing the roof off’ so found this Dylan cover of a favourite by Mr Ferry . . . . download the boot and let me and Xray and the boys know what you think over on the Wagon!
