THE NORMAL GERMAN PRESSING OF HIGHLIGHT & LOWLIVES IS GETTING HARDER TO FIND NOW AFTER 28 YEARS AND THIS IS THE TEST PRESSING OF THAT ALBUM.
I ACTUALLY KNEW DICKIE PETERSON SORT OF, AS HE WAS HERE AT MY HOUSE A FEW YEARS BACK WHEN BLUE CHEER WERE HERE IN MARYLAND RECORDING THEIR "WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU" CD. YEAH, DICKIE PETERSON AND THE BAND BLUE CHEER ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED, BUT ARE ONE OF THE BEST HARD ROCK BANDS THAT EVER EXISTED. I MEAN NOT MANY BANDS CAN SAY THAT PINK FLOYD WITH SYD BARRETT WERE THEIR OPENING ACT. HEY, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS LISTING YOU'RE PROBABLY A BLUE CHEER FAN / COLLECTOR ANYWAY. THERE'S NOT MUCH MORE THAT I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS LEGENDARY BAND THAT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY DON'T KNOW. OH YEAH, I DID ASK DICKIE ABOUT THE "PARCHMENT" FARM USED AS THE TITLE OF THAT SONG WHEN IT'S ABOUT "PARCHMAN" FARM, WHICH WAS LET'S JUST SAY A PRISON WORK CAMP IN THE SOUTH. HIS ANSWER WAS "WADDA YOU EXPECT FROM A RECORD COMPANY?" HE WAS COOL TO PARTY WITH TOO.
SIDE ONE CONTAINS: URBAN SOLDIERS - HUNTER OF LOVE - GIRL FROM LONDON - BLUE STEEL DUES.
SIDE TWO CONTAINS: BIG TROUBLE IN PARADISE - FLIGHT OF THE ENOLA GAY - HOOCHIE COOCHIE MAN - DOWN AND DIRTY.
BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD SOUNDED INCREDIBLE WHEN I PLAYED THEM ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP.THERE'S SOME SMALL SURFACE MARKS ON THE FIRST SONG SIDE 1, WHICH WERE PROBABLY CREATED BY THE PAPER CLIP HOLDING THOSE 2 PAGES OF PRESS INFO THAT WERE SENT INSIDE OF THE RECORD JACKET WITH THE RECORD. THAT'S WHAT I THINK ANYWAY, BECAUSE THE REST OF THE RECORD LOOKS MINT. THOSE SMALL SURFACE MARKS CREATE A LITTLE STATIC NOISE IN PART OF THAT FIRST SONG "URBAN SOLDERS", BUT MOST OF IT AND THE REST OF THE RECORD SOUND PERFECT. THAT FIRST SONG SOUNDS GREAT TOO REALLY. THE 2 PRESS INFO SHEETS ARE HELD TOGETHER BY A STAPLE THAT'S STARTING TO RUST A LITTLE. THE GENERIC BLACK CARDBOARD JACKET HAS NO SEAM SEAMS SPLITS I KEPT THE ORIGINAL WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS INCLUDED, BUT AFTER PLAYING THE RECORD PUT IT IN A BRAND NEW HIGH QUALITY COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED.
