LiveMusic Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 This past weeked, a friend had a CD I've never seen. I'm not sure of the name. It says CHOBA ? CCCP. That question mark is a character that is not an English language character. In tiny print, it says "the russian album." This is a rocker! I like! From liner notes: "July 1987: The third week in July and Paul calls upon two teams of likeminded British musicians to see if it is still possible to make sparks fly and record in precisely the same spontaneous manner as when Elvis, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Ray Charles, Chuck Berry or, for that matter, The Beatles knocked out more hits than Muhammed Ali despatched contenders. July 20: The dynamic guitar artistry of Mick Green (the first in a line of great UK players that include Clapton, Beck and Page) was employed, together with hard-hitting support from everyone's favourite pianist Mickey Gallagher and drummer Chris Whitten from Julian Cope's band." Says the album was released exclusively in the USSR on vinyl in 1988. All tracks recorded July 20, 1987. Message from Paul to Russian people: "When I was young I asked my dad if people wanted peace. He said to me, 'Yes, people everywhere want peace -- it's usually politicians that cause trouble.' It always seemed to me that the way the Beatles' music was admired in the USSR tended to prove his point that people the world over have a great deal in common." Contains: Kansas City Twenty Flight Rock Lawdy Miss Clawdy I'm In Love Again Bring It On Home To Me Lucille Don't Get Around Much Anymore I'm Gonna Be a Wheel Someday That's All Right Mama Summertime Ain't That A Shame Crackin' Up Just Because Midnight Special Great album! I have a live McCartney CD that I really dig... McCartney Live or something like that. It was a concert in Lancashire. I wish I could also find the Unplugged one he did. Or was that bootleg? Any idea how to get it? > > > [ Live! ] < < < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
