Hi,
New to this board, and while not new to Strat, not a big listener until as of the past year or so. My son has always been a big fan (and will finally get his chance to see them at Jaxx in Sept....I'll see them at PPVI)
My mom had bought him this CD either last year or the year before as a Christmas gift. She got it at a small store near her (which we always stop in while visiting as they always have cool stuff). I thought it was cool of her and fgured it was an import as she said it was a bit more than some of the others. Never gave it thought...he liked it, i never listened to it (too much to listen too and never enough time...lol).
So...I finally borrow it from him to listen to it (hell, i seldom really read the cd cover...damned print is too damned small)...so i took it to the truck and threw it in. From the first note i thought....this is not a polished recording....sounded like a board mix.
Ok...so tonight i finally brought the CD case in...(where i keep me reading glasses and magnafying glass...lol)....and see...printed right on back....EXCELLENT SOUNDBOARD RECORDING....and it pretty much is.
Very hard though to read the rest of the print as it is black on dark blue...though it does say Produced by Stratovarius for _____ Records....(there is more but hard to see in spots and not so sure it is relevant to much).
I searched this site (a bit) and found a few others had copies, listed as bootlegs. Also saw an Ebay listing saying only 1000 were printed.
Can someone shed a little more detailed light to the history of this CD.
My curiosity would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
