Description
The opening paragraph of Bill DeYoung’s liner notes to this reissue says it best: “A blistering, balls-to-the-wall audio snapshot of one of southern rock’s great boogie bands in its prime, Black Oak Arkansas’ Raunch ‘N’ Roll Live has lost none of its visceral thrust, more than three decades after it humped its way into record stores as a seven-song vinyl LP.” And now, with the re-release of this 2-CD set—previously only available as a long sold-out limited edition —you get three times the raunch! That’s because—like most live albums—the actual release was drawn from several shows, in this case a 12/1/72 show at the Paramount Theater in Portland and a 12/2/72 show at Seattle’s like-named Paramount Theater. The Complete Raunch ‘N’ Roll Live presents both concerts in their entirety, featuring 17 tracks that weren’t on the original release and including some tunes—“Fever on My Mind,” “Uncle Lijiah,” “Keep the Faith,” “Lord Have Mercy on My Soul,” “Full Moon Ride” “Dixie,” and “Movin’”—that didn’t appear in any version. A double, make that triple, dose of one of the great live bands of the ‘70s, and further proof of the unhinged brilliance of frontman Jim Mangrum.

I think this was a Rhino Handmade title, which I never ordered. I'll be on the lookout for this reissue. Real Gone does good work.

I KNOW it was an RH grr. These were supposed to be permanently limited. That said, it's great stuff.
