Is this new or a reissue? There have been so many JB live sets from his fusion jazz/rock period. I'll have to check the track listing against my cd's unless we get more info. If it is new, yes, I would be in.

I have a very strong guess this is unreleased recordings.

If I can find $50 on Amazon, I'll get it today. Next best deal I can find is ship to store at Target for $13.99

The B.L. website is not showing anything on this. However, this line is from their site (referring to 3 2015 releases: Tony Orlando,
Doc Watson & a Roger McGuinn & Peter Seeger Duo concert):

"These releases are the third of an extensive quarterly rollout of 24 new titles over the next two years, including classic live performances by Jack Bruce, Ralph Stanley and Rory Gallagher, among others. The next releases are scheduled for March 2016."

The Stanley & Gallagher are not yet out; so I am guessing they might be next.

More Rory is always welcome!

Their were some great BL cd's in the 90's: Janis Ian (which they've reissued), Rick Derringer & Savoy Brown come to mind (& are all in my collection).

Bump: The label has provided a short description (now in the first post). It says that this Jack Bruce show is from 1980.

I didn't even know that The Bottom Line had a website.

I need to look through my JB collection again. I know I've got live albums with Clempson & Sancious. Not as sure about with Cobham, & I couldn't find anything from Bruce with Quadrant 4 (from Spectrum) on it.

Something about this seeming familiar has been bugging the heck out of me. Finally figured it out: This is the same band & likely the same tour as the 1980 Ebbet's Field in Denver release which has seen multiple both legal & gray area releases; & is probably JB's worst live album. As the entire band are great players & this has the great Cobham song, I'm hoping this is much better than the Ebbet's field (club in Denver, not baseball stadium!) show.

This was released in 1992 in Germany. Maybe elsewhere as well, but the German I know.

It has seven tracks, omitting Quadrant, Post War, Politician, ...Hands, and Childsong.

It's not one of my favorite Jack releases.

After I ordered the cd, I just found out there is a hi-res version. Oh well.......... :sigh:

FYI: this comes in cardboard packaging with no trays. CD #1 is significantly scratched. Haven't played it yet (& they wonder why I prefer downloads...)

I just finished CD #2. While I like this better than the Ebbet's field concert witht he same band, despite having the great fusion players Billy Cobham & David Sancious, this band never really jelled with Bruce. In fact, the best song on CD #2 is Cobham's Quadrant 4, from Spectrum. I'm also wishing I would have known about the 24 bit download before buying the cd; Other than a bit of hiss, the cd sound is really pretty good; the download will almost certainly sound even better.
