Jimi Hendrix - The Ultra Rare Tracks

 

Jimi Hendrix - The Ultra Rare Tracks

This collection, scheduled for release in 1992 but shelved soon thereafter, was not blessed with an intended name, nor even a working title. But it was to contain a superb selection of studio - and even some home - recordings. Despite its initial, and previously ongoing, failure to appear, this recording, simply titled The Ultra Rare Tracks, contains the long - awaited cuts which fans were hoping for more than 30 years back.

We haven't done a local Philadelphia band for ages, so here's a band I had never heard of until I got this cassette from our pal Sam last year.

LeCompt is pop-rock.  Catchy, a strong vocalist...there's not much I can say as I discovered them from 3,000 away forty years later. My HOPE is that someone here from the Philadelphia area will go "Yikes, DRaftervoi!  I loved this band!"

Our pal Sam Eliot's Mustache was in the audience at this concert and says,

"Briefly... JFK Stadium was built in 1926 I believe. Was named something else before being renamed in 1964 to JFK Stadium after the late John F Kennedy. Was home to countless Philadelphia football leagues and franchises: Philadelphia Quakers, Frankfort Yellow Jackets, and the Philadelphia Eagles. The first and only CFL game was played here. College football/s Liberty Bell bowl game was played here. And of course, the annual Army/Navy game was played here as well.
 
The Rolling Stones held concerts here in '78 & '81. Frampton appeared here twice within 8 months, Yes, Pink Floyd, the Who & U2. Countless all day concerts were held here as well. And of course Live Aid 1985 and Amnesty International in 1988. Max capacity was roughly 100,000.
 
Now memory is slightly hazy here on some aspects but others I do remember. Journey headlined here on June 4, 1983. Also on the bill: Bryan Adams opened fresh off of his Cuts Like An Knife album. The Tubes followed and basically was lost. Their stage show was lost on the crowd, as I heard quite a few boos (but not the most). The Completion Backwards Project really didn't play well for an outside stadium show. Next, Sammy Hagar....tore it up as always, as he was touring with the Three Lock Box album. Now it was pretty hot, so we were getting pretty cooked, so when rain showed up for the next act, John Cougar, it was much needed. And frankly he sucked....and the Philly Boo-Birds let him know it. But by that point, they really were wanting Journey. The only cheer he got was when he finished his set. As far as I was concerned, Sammy and Cougar slots should have been switched...but then again what do I know! Finally.....Journey. Now they were really good. And for an outdoor show, very clear sounding. Schon's guitar was just soaring and Steve Perry engaged us all."
 
==============
I found an article in the January 22, 1983 issue of Billboard announcing a major expansion of Westwood One's programming. Already producing the live concert series In Concert (Rock), Live From Gilley's (Country), and the Budweiser Concert of the Month (R&B), Westwood One added five new shows, one of which was the Superstar Concert series.

"Superstar Concert" was a 10 concert summer series, sponsored by the Coca-Cola Company.  Behind the scenes, the deal with Coke moved the company's sponsorship away from the ABC Radio Networks' "Super Groups In Concert" to the new Superstar Concert series.  Coca-Cola and Sprite were the only products advertised on the show during this first season.

The Journey show was the finale of Westwood One's first season of "Superstar Concert" shows.  The show aired on more than 400 U.S. radio stations and
had a record breaking 36.9 share of adults aged 18-24.

There were no show numbers on the cue sheet or the record labels, but there were runout groove etchings.  The Journey show is etched "83-10" and it's the tenth show of the summer, so it makes sense that the shows were numbered 83-1, 83-2, 83-3, etc.

However, we also have the Men At Work show in our archives, and it does not have this numbering system. That show has the run date in the etching: SSCS-SEG-1-7-22-83 (it runs SEG-1, SEG-2, etc. for each side). 

I also have a copy of the Stray Cats show, and it's got the show number instead of the run date, too. 

The first season of Westwood One's Superstar Concert series:

83-        07/01/83 Rod Stewart
83-        07/09/83 Styx
83-        07/15/83 REO Speedwagon
83-        07/22/83 Men At Work
83-        07/29/83 Genesis
83-        08/05/83 Sammy Hagar/Quarterflash
83-7       08/12/83 Stray Cats 
83-        08/19/83 Fleetwood Mac
83-        08/26/83 Loverboy
83-10      09/02/83 Journey

I've included a shot of a spreadsheet with what I know about the Westwood One Superstar Concert shows featuring Journey.  This JFK show was broadcast again in 1984, with one additional song added ("No More Lies").  There's an unknown show we haven't acquired (yet) from later in 1984 that has the same songs but a seriously reworked running order; it may be the JFK tracks...or may be a unique show from another source.  Songs from a 1983 Oklahoma show were syndicated in 1985, and then again in 2000...but with additional songs added and songs left out.  There were also three shows from a 1986 Philadelphia concert with the same set list for all three syndications.

Also... I will be posting the second broadcast of the JFK tracks...that's 84-6 on the handy-dandy chart up there... the show with the additional track... on my next post.  So STAY TUNED TO THE VOODOO WAGON!

This version combines two lossy tracks (the first two songs, "Caribbean Sunset" and "Guts") with a flac file digitized from a cassette tape recorded by Hans Devente.  His copy cuts in to "Guts" about halfway through the song.  There's a version of this on Archive.org that has the first two songs but is missing the last two songs ("Fear Is A Man's Best Friend" and "I Keep A Close Watch.") 

I'm wary of combining different sources, but the sources blended together well-enough that I think this is an improvement over the two incomplete recordings.  Yes, the first two songs are from a lossy source, but they sound fine.

From the Sam Eliot's Mustache Collection
Brought to you by the Collective For Live Music

Our pal Sam Eliot's Mustache received this in a CD-r trade some years back.  As it contained SHN files, Sam requested I convert the show to FLAC.

I've added a ticket scan and concert reviews from the Boston Globe and the Patriot Ledger.
The original source of the show was once listed on Etreeb.org as: https://etreedb.org/myshows_detail.php?showid=3360341 (which now doesn't seem to return any results...)

That listing had the generation listed as "O," which I guess means a master copy off the air of the original broadcast.  If so... it sounds like it.  

Whoever chaptered the original broadcast made different choices than I would have made.  They split "God's Comic" into three tracks.  Yes, the song goes on and on and on (almost ten minutes) and yes, Costello starts yapping in the middle of it, but I would have left it as one big track.  

They've also titled some of Costello's musical and lyrical quotes from other songs as "variations" when they're really a Costello song with fragments of other pop hits tacked on the end. I'd call that a medley, not variations on a theme.

I may get around to editing this into a form I prefer, but for now, here it is, as it was originally chaptered.  All I did for our pal Sam was convert from SHN files to the more current FLAC files.
The songs (or more properly fragments of songs) in the medleys are:

Oliver's Army (Medley)
"Kid"
"Unchained Melody"
"If You Could Read My Mind"

Alison (Medley)
"Living a Little, Laughing a Little" (Thom Bell, Linda Creed)
"Tracks of My Tears" (William "Smokey" Robinson Jr., Warren Moore, Marvin Tarplin)
"Tears of a Clown" (Stevie Wonder, Hank Cosby, Robinson)
"No More Tearstained Make-Up" (Robinson)
"Clowntime Is Over" (Elvis Costello)

The following tracks were officially released:
"You Bowed Down", "The Long Honeymoon," "Distorted Angel," "Red Shoes," "Little Atoms" and "My Funny Valentine" were first released on Live At The Paradise, Boston (promo) and later on the limited edition Costello & Nieve boxed set of five "EP" CDs released in 1996.

While it's not chaptered to my satisfaction, this sounds FABULOUS and if like Costello and don't have a copy, stop reading this and download it! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! ĐR̃äⒻṬëŕṽöï urges Costello fans to check this one out!

I also tossed in an article from the Boston Globe from a few years after this about "age" and radio airplay just because I found it interesting, and to keep Our Beloved Audience reading texts written by human beings!

Flac files of wavs. No cue sheet.  I've included two Billboard articles mentioning the Coffee House Session series.  

The Coffee House Sessions was hosted by Smithereens singer/songwriter Pat DiNizio, and aired weekly on nearly 190 college radio stations. The show featured short interviews with live in the studio performances.  As was popular at the time, the shows were "unplugged" using acoustic guitars.

These CDs are very rare; I've only seen a few of them turn up on Ebay.  

The series didn't last long before they lost their original sponsor... In 1994, there's a Show 1/Show 2 labeled CITIBANK/VISA Coffee House Sessions... so even though they lost General Foods International Coffees as the sponsor, they kept the Coffee House Sessions as the branding for the show.
Produced by College SoundTrack (a division of Track Marketing) 1221 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York.

The Raindogs were a Boston-based band that put out two albums on ATCO Records in 1989 and 1991.

The Cavedogs were also from Boston, and had two albums on Capitol Records in 1990 and 1992.

Peter Himmelman has a broader career, putting out 21 albums between 1986 and 2017.

Portions of this were rebroadcast by Westwood One as Westwood One Superstars In Concert #SS85-25 (in the VW archives). Ten songs were released on VHS as The Liberty Concert.

The final song (a cover of Hot Fun In The Summertime) is not here.  It is on the VHS tape. 

Okay, gang!  Here's one for the upcoming 4th of July holiday here in the U.S. of A.  Nationwide satellite broadcasts were still new in 1985, and Westwood One added an uplink to RCA's Satcom 1-R communications satellite a year earlier in '84.  

Hall & Oates were holding a benefit concert for the Statue of Liberty.  Crowd estimates were put at 60,000 people, with tens of thousands listening nationwide on the radio.

Another one from the radio reels with excellent sound quality.

They mention Rochester twice during the show, which led to the venue and show date. I found a print ad that proves the date and venue.

Everything I said about various tones and the history of the Studio Jam shows on the Molly Hatchet post applies to this one as well.

I found a print ad for the show, and two ads for an in-store appearance by the band at House of Guitars, Inc. at 645 Titus Avenue.  A quick check of the Internet shows....THEY ARE STILL IN BUSINESS AT THE SAME ADDRESS!   

I also found a pre-concert article with a phone interview with guitarist Gary Richrath.

The show is hosted by Kathy O'Conner, but she only appears on the 1st and 10th track for a quick hello and goodbye so I didn't break her out as a separate track.

We are missing the cue sheet, but a look at the cue for the REO Speedwagon Studio Jam show (October 1979), we find that the tones at the beginning are listed as

1000 hz tone (O-level vu meter)
10,000 hz tone (-5 vu level)
100 hz tone (O-level nu meter)
25 hz automation tone (-3 vu level) 

The last one led me to ask our resident radio expert member of the Collective about the "automation tone."  He says, "It seems a bit primitive now, but it was typically used to trigger elements at the automated radio station to fire off automatically, including starting commercials, playing local station IDs, etc!"

As it is almost inaudible - 25 hz is right on the edge of what we can hear, humans can hear down to about 20 hz - it's ridiculous to actually listen to these tracks. I've left the starting tones and the automation tones in the show just to document this as it was created.  At one time I would have deleted 'em but these days I'm taking an archival approach, documenting as close to the source recording as possible.  If the past was stupid, well, that's just the way it was.  Feel free to delete 'em.

I've also included a print ad.  The font used for the "STUDIO JAM" text is almost impossible for a Optical Character Reader to interpret.  I did a search for ads, but didn't come up with any examples...but the font being difficult to read might be part of that.

Studio Jam was a syndicated radio show founded and produced by Charles K. "Chip" Altholz in Chicago. The show started out by showcasing in-studio performances usually recorded at Mantra Studios in Chicago and carried by WKQX-FM. A few years later they began to feature live performances recorded at various venues in Chicago, and then from other cities. This grew into the Studio Jam Radio Network, a 50-station radio network to produce and barter syndicated radio concerts in trade for airtime. They produced 24 in-studio live radio concerts featuring major rock stars for seventeen major record labels, including shows by David Bowie, The Police, Kenny Loggins, Styx, Triumph, Doobie Brothers, Foreigner, and Earth Wind & Fire. They co-produced the concerts with JAM Productions Ltd., and Robert Pittman (who later founded MTV).

I've never seen a list of these shows, so I've listed what I've discovered here.  These are not all confirmed. Shows that were mentioned in a newspaper story may not have been recorded. Shows that were already recorded might not have been distributed.  If you know anything about the Studio Jam shows, please leave a comment.

Digitized from the original radio reel-to-reel tapes.

While this show was intended to be a single broadcast I've broken the songs up by group into three folders, in case people want only one or two of the groups for their collection.

This one is a big discovery, partial broadcasts of this show have surfaced over at Guitars 101, but this is the entire rebroadcast direct from the reel-to-reel tapes.

Atlanta radio station WKLS-FM and Capricorn Records co-sponsored a one-time show "The Rebel Jam" featuring three of the label's acts: Stillwater, Dixie Dregs, and Sea Level.  The finale featured a jam by members of all three groups, joined by J.D. Mangrum of Black Oak Arkansas and Larry Berwald from Wet Willie.

It was a free concert. WKLS-FM listeners registered at local record stores and when your name was drawn and called out over the air, you had 24 hours to claim your tickets by calling the radio station.

It proved a popular idea, so 96 Rock broadcast the show live.  This is NOT from the live broadcast, however.  Capricorn Records recorded the show on a 24-track mobile recording studio, and mixed and edited it down to three reel-to-reel tapes.  Capricorn distributed the tapes to stations in the Superstars Radio Network (there's an additional essay with more information on the Superstars Radio Network included). Based on our prior research, there were probably about 40 stations in the network...and not all of them would have picked up a Southern Rock live show.  We don't know how many stations broadcast the mixed and edited version.

"Out On A Limb," "Mind Bender, "Grand Larceny," and "Refried Funky Chicken" were officially released on a 2-LP Capricorn Records various artists live compilation "Hotels, Motels And Road Shows" in July 1978. A truncated version of the album was issued in Japan in 1989. All of the Rebel Jam songs were on the CD.  There does not appear to be a domestic or European release on CD.

The Ruth Mitchell Dance Company performed during two of Dixie Dreg's songs.  The Internet tells me Ruth Mitchell opened her dance studio in Atlanta in 1957 and that "she loved jazz dancing, and many of the pieces she choreographed reflected that affinity, along with bridging dance into rock music. Her pieces included interpretations of The Alan Parsons Project’s Tales of Edgar Allen Poe, The Who’s Tommy and Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells. Other memorable pieces by Mitchell include Cindy, Archy and Mehitabel, Panopticon and Dark Side of the Moon."

In 1978 in San Francisco, I was all about punk rock: louder, faster, shorter was the order of the day and musical virtuosity was not just suspect but downright opposed. For me, there's a lot on this tape that's very interesting to me.  Southern Rock wasn't as popular in the Bay Area as on its home turf down in Dixie; they wouldn't have broadcast a show like this on local radio.  I'd never heard of Stillwater; had ONE SINGLE FRIEND who listened to the Dixie Dregs, and never heard Sea Level back in the day. So this is a chance for me to hear what I missed in 1978.

All of these band featured virtuoso players; in particular Dixie Dregs and Sea Level stand out as bands I should have paid attention to in 1978 had I not been a genre snob.

Kurt and Carol Kinzel for Capricorn Records

TRUST ME, MAN....this sounds like it was recorded yesterday....
