Such A Night

SUCH A NIGHT

The Definitive Live Rarities Collection

A new box has been announced: Such A Night, the live rarities collection from the Redemption label. 

More than 150 songs are on this 4 CD (long) box and that's the only positive thing I can say about this release. Why? Because fans want to know exactly when a song was recorded live or at least they want to know from what concert a particular song is taken from, especially when we are dealing with a "greatest hits" album. There's no indication whether a particular song is from a dinner show or midnight show or not (almost every song is from a Vegas concert).

Some information isn't acurate either. For example, on disc 1 the first song is "Loving You" and according to the information I received, this is was recorded on August 23, 1969. There is no information that this song was performed live in 1969. But what is worse, the songs on this box are stolen from other import CD's and I think maybe even from FTD recordings (January 25, 1973 stage rehearsals).This is definately an effort to make money easily. Anyway, here is the songlist:
