Nothing here has ever been commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

Many thanks to the original taper!

Corrections welcome. If the pitch is still incorrect, email me & maybe I'll get around to fixing it. I use a pitch pipe, check 3-4 songs & when in doubt compare 1-2 songs on a time-appropriate album, but sometimes I'm off. If Dolby was present, it was dealt with as seemed best.

Cool Sonics Series CSS-029 ::: Blue Monday... This one goes out to Pete "Boris" Moody, a gentleman of the first order, wherever you are these days. So... This makes the 1976 "Go Live" album look like a tame pudding. Stan IS The Man here. He is in a no holds barred "Imagination Lady" zone - blistering, searing guitar that'll make yer ear hair grow! Instead of continuing on into bluesland, he heads into early rock territory & we get some great up-tempo rock covers from him. More recordings on the way. Alas, up until September 2011, I suffered from SERIOUSLY slow internet access (hence my lousy ratio). I am fixing that as fast as I can, now that I am able. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace.

Since we're all gettin' older & reminiscin' is in vogue... Kudos to: Zongo for life support & Lochner for microphones & much more. A bow to Fast Freddie for running Video Dick's Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks & supporting my 1980's 20+ cassette-a-day habit (4 machines at home just weren't enough)! Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace) for over 30 years of trading, friendship (& frau introductions!). Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Moore, Miller, Gough (G.-if you read this, get in touch!), Berger & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing... And royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin', Reel Master Gaule, Dean Parrish (how are ya dude?) & all those traders who housed & fed me through my many music acquisition & travel years. Steppin' back to the seeds - hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Ena Whisnant (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. A glass is raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & am much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin' my concert fires burnin' since my continental shift.

Support the artist directly, he's still layin' it down! http://www.stanwebb.co.uk/
There are also a multitude of classic albums to choose from on CD, though shame on the record companies for brickwalling the Blue Horizon & Decca stuff almost to death.

Do whatever you want with it except sell it, 'cause that ain't cool!
